[Bug 1671331] [NEW] problem with installing and booting ubuntu

[Jaromir]

Public bug reported:

I have tried to open gparted, removed all partitions and created one 150
MB at the beginning (unformated grub_bios flag), then one 4GB less than
max (ext4), then the rest 3.72 GB (linux-swap).

Then I ran boot-repair - everything went smooth (summary: Boot
successfully repaired.

Please write on a paper the following URL:
http://paste2.org/tFf8f5hY


In case you still experience boot problem, indicate this URL to:
boot.repair at gmail.com or to your favorite support forum.

You can now reboot your computer.)

Then I tried to install ubuntu, using the USB stick that I am running
the live session with.

Made the Ext4 mount point at "/" and began to install.. everything went
fine until the "grub2 installation" then a failure message appeared and
the installation closed.

Thanks for any advices..
