[Bug 762977] Re: BT4R2 install fail @ grub-install

[Brian Murray]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.  Reviewing your log files attached to this bug report it
seems that there is a problem with your installation media (CD/DVD) or
with your hardware.  Please retry your installation with new media and
if it still fails I'd recommend testing your CD drive with other media.
In the event that is is not in fact an error with your installation
media or hardware please set the bug's status back to New.  Thanks and
good luck!

  First off I apologize for my long windedness.  I can't seem to attach more than one file but here is the issue; I downloaded the BT4R2 iso and made a DVD in Ubuntu rebooted and started from DVD selected persistant Live CD (KDE version: 3.5.10, User: root, Hostname: bt, System: Linux, Release: 2.6.35.8, Machine: i836) typed startx at prompt checked things out looks good etc... clicked on install.sh everything goes great and smooth untill 94% running grub-install and get the following pop up, Installer crashed "We're sorry ect" 
  Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/bin/ubiquity", line 229, in <module>
