Title:
  grub-install /dev/sd?? failed regardless of partition

Status in grub-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I was trying a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.10, and it almost completed
  the installation, having a window open to restart the computer.  Then
  an error message like the one above came up, after which I got a
  choice of partitions in which to install grub.  Every one I tried came
  up with the same error message, so I just had to abort the
  installation.
