In another installation, also with xfs, I left a 1-2 GB unpartitioned space at the beginning of the disk (plenty of space for the bios_grub partition), but grub again failed.
In another installation, I also tried the same patition layout as the original bug report (first 4GB swap, 1-2 GB unpartitioned, ~300 GB root partition) with ext4 rather than xfs and the bios_grub partition was created correctly and the system boots as expected. I'm trying to narrow down whether the problem occurs due to deciding where the bios_grub partition gets placed, but it seems to only occur with xfs. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/855871 Title: Grub install fails after manual xfs partitioning To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/855871/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
