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.
