** Description changed:

- sda1 was originally a Lubuntu 18.04 LTS partition.
- as it reached EOL before groovy (20.10) I opted to replace it with 21.04
+ QA-test install on
+ - dell [optiplex] 780 (c2q-q9400, 8gb, amd/ati cedar radeon hd 
5000/6000/7350/8350)
  
- manual partitioning, selected sda1 without format (I have music & other
- files in $HOME)
+ replace sda1 (initially lubuntu 18.04) with ubuntu hirsute
  
- grub-install failed
+ sda1 was chosen as lubuntu 18.04 reaches EOL this month, which is
+ earlier than the groovy (20.10) partition. sda1 was without format (I
+ have music & other files in $HOME)
+ 
+ ** expected result
+ 
+ Install will work; reboot & I'll have a 21.04 system in the sda1
+ partition
+ 
+ ** actual result
+ 
+ grub-install failed, reboot & it only booted to recovery console :(
