Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ubiquity

I've tried to install 10.10 (64-bit) daily (25/09/10) on my external harddrive.
steps i did to install:
i choose manual partitioning
the partition was already made from an earier attemt to install.
so i choose: does not unmount and only clear the partition.
I did this so the partition table doesn't change.
(in my earlier attemt i did choose unmount and made the partition, i tought the 
problem came for that)

installation finished with no errors.
But when i tried to boot i got:

error no such partition
grub rescue

so i booted with my internal hdd (lucid) and reinstalled grub.
but same effect.
I have also lucid on my external hdd.
so i booted with my internal hdd (lucid) and reinstalled grub but now pointed 
to my lucid partition.
now i got my grub back and i am able to boot to the lucid on my external hdd.
There is also a entery to the maverick kernel but as i choose this one i get:
unknown filesystem
unable to find kernel (or something)

the maverick partition is formated in ext4.
i can acces the partion from lucid so i don't think there is something wrong 
with it.

maybe this bug is related:

tonight i will look at /etc/mtab of the maverick install
