Title:
  grub not installed correctly in mbr from 10.10

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  I had Ubuntu 8.04 installed. I downloaded CD image for 10.10 and proceeded to install it. Everything looked to be fine until I restarted the system. Grub failed. I received a messages:
  Grub loading stage 1.5
  Grub loading, please wait
  Error 17

  After searching, I found information that said that the message "Grub
  loading stage 1.5" is from the "old" Grub not Grub 2 that is part of
  Ubuntu 10.10. I booted the Live CD, mounted my boot partition, and ran
  grub-install to install the parition and the /dev/sda MBR. This
  worked. Ubuntu now boot fine.

  From this it seems that Ubuntu did not write over the MBR from the old
  Grub.
