[Bug 1370909] [NEW] during install of Ubuntu GNOME beta 1 'grub-installer' cannot write grub to any drive or partition

[YPHa]

Public bug reported:

doing a fresh install of Ubuntu Gnome beta1 with updates enabled during install works fine.
untill grub-installer tries to write grub to a drive or partition, i tried all possible drives/partitions, none works.
when i installed the same os on this computer for the 2nd yesterday it worked fine. (the 1st time failed back then as well).

i hope this will help fix this bug for other future users.
for now i will install mint 17 until the final release of 14.10 is out.
