[Bug 907915] Re: frsh install of 11.10, crashes installing grub to /dev/sda

[phaidros]

tho, probably related to my custom partitioning. as I created alle the
LVM stuff beforehand (as the installer cant ..), I create a ne w
partition map as well, and probably the installer wasnt able to write
grub into the GPT partition table or got confused by it. tho, grub2
should seemlessly install into GPT. another hint probably: / was
formatted as btrfs.

crash didnt happen with ext4 as filesystems and msdos partition table.
all with lvm.
