[Bug 1169754] [NEW] Ubuntu12.10 fails to install grub. Manually installing also fails.

[ginnis]

Public bug reported:

May be closely related to bug #880766, but only 2 disks. Initially 12.04
resided on an SSD. I have tried updating that OS, a re-install, and
erasing the disk and doing a clean install. I have also fetched boot-
repair from ppa:yannubuntu and run it. This also fails: on reboot I get
to the opening screen (Ubuntu with a series of dots) and the install
hangs.
