Title:
  Ubuntu 11.10 installation CD is not able to install Grub in desired
  location. Causes a fatal error.

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Am using BootitNG for multi booting systems. Have successfully
  installed Ubuntu 10.10 . Now want to install Ubuntu 11.10 but when
  installation reaches the stage of executing Grub-install to dev/sdd8
  it fails & a fatal error occurs.

  I twice downloaded the installation "iso" and created installation
  disks - but they all fail at the grub-install stage.

  However I was able to install Ubuntu Studio 11.10 altenate without any
  difficulties.
