zsync'd the 20111012 image to try install again. Same error. 1. /dev/sda is a 250 GB hard drive with Ocelot, Meerkat, Windozzz 7.
2. /dev /sdb is a USB hard drive with Ocelot and another partition I was installing 20111012 onto from a USB stick /dev/sdc The Aspire 1 netbook is set to boot from the USB hard drive /dev/sdb if it is plugged in. 3. After install well up, it got an "error" installing grub on the USB hard drive. No way around it. I chose to continue install without boot loader. 4. Booted from /dev/sda and did sudo update-grub and sudo grub-install /dev/sda allowing grub to see the Ubuntu's on /dev/sdb.. 5. Then booted old Ocelot on /dev/sdb and did sudo update-grub and sudo grub-install /dev/sdb 6. Finally was able to boot the USB hard drive selecting the new install. Any clue what the "error" is?
