Thanks for the follow-up However, I didn't issue the command myself, it's part of the normal install... I simply clicked "next" in the wizard and at the last moment, the installer fail and this error message is displayed.
I already installed tons of Ubuntu systems for more than 10 years without such problem. I found that some people encounter the same but always in a dual-boot environment. I only have ubuntu on this system. I also read that it might be related to the disk alignment... Anyway, I'll keep searching, sorry if I wasted some of your time with this bug report. -- Arnaud Ongenae On Thu, Jan 16, 2014 at 3:33 PM, Phillip Susi <ps...@ubuntu.com> wrote: > You tried to install grub to /dev/sda, which has no partitions.
