Hi, my guess now is that it is because i have a S-ATA hard drive. The partion manager only shows sda<n> partitions, but the next screen stubbornly offers hd0 to install GRUB which I presume is not for S-ATA drives?
I am now adventurously trying it with sd0 for grub, and see what happens, but it would be neat if the installer just knew where to install GRUB Cheers!
