I'm afraid that TerryG's claim that Ubiquity relies on GRUB to enumerate
other operating systems is entirely mistaken. It does not. It relies on
GRUB to *boot* them, but detection is done via a completely separate
component called os-prober.
Could you please attach /var/log/installer/syslog and
Triaged to Confirmed. GRUB is not perfect. Ubiquity relies on GRUB to
enumerate operating systems and it sometimes fails. There are many
documented cases where GRUB gets confused. Work arounds involve editing
menu.lst or grub.conf. It's not difficult but it's not easy for the new
user either.
Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu
better. Did you notice this when installing from the Live CD or the
Alternate CD? Thanks in advance.
