[Bug 945072] [NEW] 12.04Beta1: grub install fails

[ivo welch]

Public bug reported:


12.04 Beta 1.  fresh install.  dell vostro 130.  pretty standard stuff.  300GB partition behind Win7.  reports that grub-pc fails to install onto /target/ .  on the error log, there are lots of warnings that it could not find the right packages.  unfortunately, the error log does not have a "page up" functionality so that I can see the first few errors.

On another console, I tried to apt-install grub2 and grub, but nothing
seems to work.  I get errors I do not understand, such as failing grub-
probe, and incorrect usage of grub-installer.    I could not figure out
how to do a manual grub install at this point, either, and I cannot
reboot, of course.  so, this is a showstopper for me.
