[Bug 898898] Re: Couldn't install bootloader to dev/sdb, the crashed

[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 the disk to which you are trying to
install Ubuntu.  I'd recommend performing a back up of your existing
operating system and then investigating the situation.  Measures you
might take include checking cable connections for your disks and using
software tools to investigate the health of your hardware.  In the event
that is is not in fact an error with your hardware please set the bug's
status back to New.  Thanks and good luck!
