I guess there isn't; after the GRUB install step you must still go through the 'Finish installation' step which seems likely to fail if the install media has been unplugged/replugged. > and then closed the bug since the installation was successful overall. > I have a question for the list - why should this be considered a success? Christian Perrier closed the bug, not Paul. Probably only because all checkboxes were marked with [O] = OK: > Install boot loader: [O] But yes there is this long-standing GRUB issue. I thought there was an open bug for it somewhere but I can't find it.
