I have the same problem. I had my system partition formatted into ext4 (this was a new install, not upgrade). The installer did not ask me which version of grub to install.

Removing grub is exactly what should happen, you'll find on the next update that this issue is now fixed for you. It looks like you were affected by one of the bugs in the beta cycle that forced removal of grub-pc in favor of grub - since this bug is fixed, I'm closing this report. ** Changed in: grub (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = Invalid -- package linux-image-2.6.31-15-generic 2.6.31-15.50 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/481689 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

I think the problem is a wrong package installed by default. I had the old grub metapackage installed instead of grub2, although the package grub-common installed is version 1.97b4 -- package linux-image-2.6.31-15-generic 2.6.31-15.50 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/481689 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
