Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: partman-target

- using CD-image from cdimage.ubuntu.com 3rd of september 2008
- cd-integrity check reported no errors
- started installer and used "manual partitioning" to preserve /home partition
- the single disk in the system under hardy was partitioned like this:

/dev/sda1 ext3    /boot    100 MBytes
/dev/sda2 swap                  4 GBytes
/dev/sda3 ext3    /home    30 GBytes
/dev/sda5 ext3    /tmp         5 GBytes
/dev/sda6 ext3    /              4 GBytes
/dev/sda7 ext3    /var         4 GBytes
/dev/sda8 ext3    /opt       14 GBytes
/dev/sda9 ext3    /usr       15 GBytes

- the layout was kept, but every partition except /home (/dev/sda3) was set to 
be formatted
- installation went fine
- after first reboot grub failed ot boot the machine and reported:

GRUB Loading stage1.5.
GRUB loading, please wait...
Error 15

- also trying to use the live-cd to boot from the first hard-disk failed with 
the same error
- the contents of the /boot partition after the installation look like this:

abi-2.6.27-2-generic
config-2.6.27-2-genric
lost+found
memtest86+.bin
System.map-2.6.27-2-generic
vmcoreinfo-2.6.27-2-generic

- the /var -partition is empty except for the lost+found directory, thus no 
/var/log/installer/*
- the output of "sudo parted /dev/sda print all":

Model: ATA FUJITSU MHW2080B (scsi)
Disk /dev/sda: 80.0GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B

 9      63.6GB  80.0GB  16.4GB  logical   ext3

- the contents of the /home partition were left untouched
