Public bug reported:

When trying to install grub to Ext4,3,2 and Btrfs, the installer showed
"Executing 'grub-install /dev/sda' failed. This is a fatal error.".
Installing to a dedicated Ext2 /boot partition fails. I didn't have this
problem for 12.04 but I have it in all  ubuntu 12.04.1 based
installations.
