# walk through install with all defaults

install fails at grub stage.

I chose defaults for disk setup (lvm) and the chose 'install grub to MBR'.
The error message is:

--
Install the GRUB boot loader on a hard disk
      Unable to intsal GRUB in /dev/vda5
  Executing 'grub-install /dev/vda5' failed.
This is a fatal error.
