Public bug reported:
executing grub-install/dev/sda failed ...i have a sony vaio vpcz1290x
with 2 64gb ssd, its a few years old but solid until W7 crashed and
burned took everything with, since then have been using ubuntu 14.04.1
and mint17.1 only as a live cd, and i can see in bios that the drives
are working. tried partitioning the drives which whould cause the
installer to freeze with a comment box full of ??? ??? ??? ??? but
i have yet to have the install complete successfully. i partitioned 63mb
to /boot 8gb to swap 15gb to /root and the remainder to /home but the
installer gets stuck there. i am fairly certain i am doing something
wrong. i really would like to install any os that works
