[Bug 1438397] [NEW] grub-installer failed in presence of memory card

[Fenyvesi Tamás]

Public bug reported:

I was installing Xubuntu 14.04.2 with partition encryption when grub-
installer failed. It told that it couldn't install grub on /dev/mmcblk0
which is a memory card.

I didn't chose anywhere to install on my memory card. It may be the
system installer's fault.
