In my case, it cannot be a question of "the existing grub multiboot partition being back-level," because I install GRUB into the root partition that I'm creating. I even install the GRUB boot loader ("stage1") into the Boot Block of the root partition (NOT in the Master Boot Block--I use a custom-compiled GRUB as my Master Boot Loader, and let it chainload to whichever partition that I want to boot.
In my case, the problem is that I'm trying to set up "/home" as a separate partition--that won't work either. It seems to me that intrepid will fail unless you install EVERYTHING into one partition--including "/boot", "/home", and whichever locations for you might wish to use a separate partition. Anyway, I have circumvented the problem by initially setting up a single, self-contained root partition, and afterwards moving "/home" into its own partition. -- ubiquity crashed with InstallStepError in configure_bootloader() https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/260001 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
