[Bug 1302529] Re: grub2 installation fails on 14.04 kickstart installation

[Eduard Warkentin]

Added the output of:

grub-install --verbose --force /dev/sda

from within a chroot created with "chroot /target /bin/bash" right after
the installer failed.

This works fine, and exits with $? being 0.

Title:
  grub2 installation fails on 14.04 kickstart installation

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “kickseed” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  == Regression details ==
  Discovered in version: 14.04
  Last known good version: 12.04

  Hi!

  I got hit by a bug that grub2 could not be installed when using 14.04
  - while the exact same kickstart file works perfectly when using 12.04
  for kickstarting.

  The exact error (after the installer fails, and before pressing enter
  to continue) in tty4 is: "disk hd0 not found".

  I'm attaching a screenshot of the error, when the automated installer
  fails.

  The kickstart file snippet regarding bootloader installation after
  partitioning is this:

  -----<snip>-----
  zerombr yes
  bootloader --location=mbr
  clearpart --initlabel --drives=sda
  part /boot --fstype=ext4 --size=256 --asprimary
  part swap --size=512 --asprimary
  part / --fstype=ext4 --size=1 --grow --asprimary
  -----<snap>-----

  I am running the installation using the 14.04 server beta2 cd, and
  adding "toram ks=http://mylocalwebserverip/ubuntutest.ks" to the
  kernel options prior booting, the result stays the same without
  "toram".

  Best regards,
  bekks
