I should add this information also. It only happened when I tried to install using the Live CD. I ended up getting Kubuntu 9.10 to install and GRUB to work by doing two things (not sure which actually fixed it though).
1. I selected Install Now from the boot menu (bypassing the Live CD environment). 2. I completely wiped out the existing partitions for Kubuntu, and recreated them. Previously, I was trying to reinstall Kubuntu over an existing installation. This is because one of the recent security updates keeps leaving the computer un-usable (it comes up with the error about items in fstab needing to wait on something to close, and freezes up there). Ultimately, I went back to Kubuntu 9.04 for now, until I get a chance to dig into it more to find out what security update bricks the computer. *** This was after I successfully installed Kubuntu 9.10 and GRUB after having filed this bug report.**** Have a great day:) Patrick. -- installation of Kubuntu crashes on grub install sda https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/508319 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
