Title:
  grub-install crashes with bus error when writing mbr

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  On a fresh install of 12.04.1 on an otherwise empty disk, grub complains about not being able to write to the mbr. After a reboot, the system does not boot. Attempting a repair with boot-repair shows that grub-install crashes with a bus error. A log of boot-repair is at
  http://paste.ubuntu.com/1198584/  (see the very end of that log).

  Added: for completeness, in Lucid and Karmic the grub installation on
  the mbr never caused any problems.
