Hi all,

using the alternate ISO I am trying to install Ubuntu 64bit with the
following setup:

root at ubuntu:/home/ubuntu# gdisk /dev/sda
GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 0.6.14

Partition table scan:
  MBR: protective
  BSD: not present
  APM: not present
  GPT: present

Found valid GPT with protective MBR; using GPT.

Command (? for help): p
Disk /dev/sda: 1465149168 sectors, 698.6 GiB
Logical sector size: 512 bytes
Disk identifier (GUID): 8C5F38B2-BFAB-4A48-8720-5E6BB4434046
Partition table holds up to 128 entries
First usable sector is 34, last usable sector is 1465149134
Partitions will be aligned on 2048-sector boundaries
Total free space is 1058782 sectors (517.0 MiB)

Number  Start (sector)    End (sector)  Size       Code  Name
   1            2048          411647   200.0 MiB   EF00  EFI System
   2          675840          677887   1024.0 KiB  EF02  BIOS boot partition
   3          942080         3039231   1024.0 MiB  0700  Linux/Windows
data     -- ext4  mounted at /boot
   4         3303424      1464884942   696.9 GiB   8E00  LUKS container

with 1 volume group and 3 logical volumes
4G swap
50G /home using btrfs
20G /root using btrfs

Ubuntu Install fails at the select and install software step after
configuring apt and also fails to install grub.

The grub-pc package failed to install into /target/. Without the GRUB boot
loader the installed system will not boot.


I even get this when I tried the setup with MBR partition table with just
two partitions:

sda1 /boot
sda2 LUKS+LVM

 Am I doing something wrong?
