Title:
  ubiquity crash while installing grub

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  Karmic Koala Alpha3. Installer crashed while installing GRUB. I think
  it was looking for other operating systems at the time. Actually,
  every installer has done this for a couple of years or more on my
  system. I suspect it may be because I have one / partition housed on
  JFS. Here is my fdisk -l:

  Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes
  255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders
  Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
  Disk identifier: 0xb8000000

  GRUB was in fact succesfully installed (using sda6 as root), but didn't list sda5 as an operating system option.
  I was able to boot and edit brub.cfg by hand to add the sda5 boot option.
