Title:
  Mint 11 installer crashed when "installing grub2 package"

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
   I am trying to install Mint 11 on a ThinkPag Edge:
  AMD Fusin E-350 (2x1.6Ghz)
  ATI Radeon 6850
  4 GB DDR3 RAM
  320GB Sata

  I am instlaling it from a 1Gb USB flash drive (since this laptop has
  no optical drive). I am using the nocodecs 64bit cd-iso.

  The installation is running fine until it says
  "installing the grub2 package..."
  Then it crashes immediately and a popup says
  "Installation crahed" and tells me to report the bug here.

  Installing grub2 before the installation changes nothing, even though
  it seems to work...

  sudo apt-get install grub2
