[Bug 1073799] [NEW] fatal error on grub-install

[Eric Hess]

Public bug reported:

Started with 12.04 LTS on a Dell Studio XPS-8100 with 2 SATA HDD's.  1st
HDD is 2 partitions, SDA1 is 60GB with "/", SDA2 has "/Home" in 100GB.
Made one 12.04 install cleanly earlier today, but 2nd and 3rd retries
failed at Grub-Install.  Same holds true for the most recent attempt
with 11.10.  Gets a "Grub Error-no such partition" after the restart.
