grub-setup seems to be trying to scan the empty space before the first paritition. In my case about 75 gb. Also it's using about 1 gb ram causing my machine to thrash and grind to halt.
The fix for me was to create a partition at the beginning of the disk. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/691569 Title: grub-setup hangs on upgrade (natty) -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
