[Bug 1302572] [NEW] installing beta-2 on top of ubuntu 14.04 and failed doing grub install

[Gregory Bruce]

Public bug reported:

I had to install ubuntu 14.04 beta 2 on top of my current ubuntu 14.04 because my installation stopped running properly (disk drive light wouldn't go off, don't know why and system was unresponsive. persisted over boots).
I installed on top with beta 2 and the grub install failed
