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?

Jerry
