[Bug 985095] Re: install bootloader from live cd

[Phillip Susi]

It appears that the drive you tried to install grub on had previously
been formatted for XFS and had leftover XFS signatures present after
being repartitioned.  If you still have this situation, you can use the
wipefs command to remove the XFS signature.
