[Bug 1544407] Re: Grub installer failed. Couldn't delete existing partitions.

[Phillip Susi]

You tried to install grub to /dev/sda1.  You need to leave it set to
/dev/sda instead.

Title:
  Grub installer failed. Couldn't delete existing partitions.

Status in grub-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Had several problems trying to do a clean install of Ubuntu Gnome.
  Several times machine locked shortly after clicking on Try Ubuntu.
  Decided to skip that and just install. Wanted to use LVM with 250 GB
  SSD, then span two SATA hard drives and attach to home. Finally seemed
  to get things working but GRUB install failed.
