I'm attempting to install to an Acer Aspire One netbook. I've tried multiple setups, but in this instance I'm not using a RAID partition at all, just the 8 gb SSD drive that comes standard in the netbook. Attempting to install from ubuntu-9.10-netbook-remix-i386.iso downloaded today from one of the FTP sites and loaded on a 2 gb USB stick to do installation, I get all kinds of failures using ext2, ext3, ext4 related to bug #452208. Attempts to reformat using JFS result in the same behavior as above, getting 94% through the installation and then failing with the following messages: Window will pop up titled "Unable to install GRUB in /dev/sda" with a detailed message of "Executing 'grub-install /dev/sda' failed. This is a fatal error." Don't mean to rant, but I'm about damned ready to abandon Ubuntu for a different distribution after all of these problems. I've wasted a damned good portion of the last 24 hours fighting with the installer and these issues. Does anyone have any kind of workaround that might get grub installed? Please let me know if anyone needs more information.
