[Bug 1431067] Re: grub fails to install when using entire disk with 3 disks with grub already on /dev/sdb

Was this bug automatically filed or did you do it manually?  If it were
automatically filed after the failure, it should have included log
files.  To investigate the issue we need a copy of /var/log/syslog.

Title:
  grub fails to install when using entire disk with 3 disks with grub
  already on /dev/sdb

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  To reproduce have sda as a 2tb hard disk with my main home partition and one other install on it of 14.10. Then I have my ssd /dev/sdb which is where the grun2 is installed and with the / partition and a manually install other partition of vivid on it that works. Then boot the lubuntu amd64 live iso for march 11th and tell it to use all of /dev/sdc a 250 gb hard disk I got from a lug member to test installs on. Grub will try to install to sda and fail and then bring up a menu to select which device to install to. grub2:
    Installed: (none)
    Candidate: 2.02~beta2-21
    Version table:
       2.02~beta2-21 0
          500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ vivid/universe amd64 Packages
  Description:	Ubuntu Vivid Vervet (development branch)
  Release:	15.04

  I expected grub2 to install or on the second time allow installing to
  /dev/sdb instead it fails to install.
