Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ubiquity
hardware: DELL T300, 4 SAS physical disks building 2 logical disks, 2Gb RAM,
CPU x3...@2.83ghz
software: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS live DVD for amd64 architecture
I partitioned the first logical disk with only one partition of 5Gb as
/dev/sda1, then complete the install forms and waited. After a few minutes I
got a popup window displaying and error while installing bootloader and
prompting about a new device to install bootloader on, or continue without
booloader, or cancel the installation.
Of course I selected first option using the suggested device name /dev/sda, but
I got the very same problem.
Second time, I selected option 2: continue without a bootloader.
This is a relevant part from /var/log/messages:
