It looks like your cdrom was corrupt.  Please choose the option to test
the disc from the boot menu.

Title:
  Grub boot loader install fails while instaling Ubuntu 13.10 alongside
  Mavericks (using rEFInd)

Status in “grub-installer” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  This is the fourth time I've tried installing Ubuntu 13.10 along-side
  Mavericks (Mac OS X).

  I installed rEFInd boot manager in Mavericks, then loeaded Ubuntu
  13.10 from a USB stickand tried installing.

  This is the error message:

  The grub-efi-amd64-signed' package failed to install into /target/.
  Without the GRUB boot loader, the installed system will not boot.

  Trying to install rEFInd boot manager from Ubuntu, as suggested by
  Roderick W. Smith..

  Any help is more than welcome.

  Thank you
