Title:
  Grub Install Failure

Status in grub-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Opinion

Bug description:
  I have a mixed scsi and ide system.  Two scsi hard drives (sda and sdb) and an
  ide drive (hda).  I boot from sda.  When installing the Hoary Preview (and Warty
  as well) the grub-installer is unable to install grub onto sda despite being
  told to put it there.  It actually installs nothing and it disables the grub
  which was on that drive.  It is necessary to disconnect hda, do the install, and
  then grub installs fine.  This does not happen in other distributions (i. e.
  Mandrake).  I have seen the exact same problem in Yoper.  So it seems to be
  specific to certain distributions, not my hardware.
