Hi Henrik, It will take a while to repro (and I am sure I can) but I actually found the reason. This is nothing to do with microdrive it is all to do with 4GB capacity of it. Ubuntu in it's current package needs more than 4GB. However if you run it to install to any partition <= 4GB it will carry installation to the very end and than run grub-install even if there is zero bytes available at destination. No wonder bug-install fails.
I believe the bug should be fixed first in ubuntu install but it won't hurt if grub also checks the "du/df" of destination before it try to install itself. If you still need log file I will create one for you. Regards Leo On 12/17/06, Henrik Nilsen Omma <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hello. Thanks for filing a bug.
