Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ubiquity
installing on an existing partition, grub throws an error and the
installer exists.
the reason seems to be, that i had the wrong partition type (i formatted
an ntfs volume with ext3 via the installer).
$ sudo sfdisk -d /dev/hda
# partition table of /dev/hda
unit: sectors
/dev/hda1 : start= 63, size= 39070017, Id= 7, bootable
/dev/hda2 : start= 39070080, size= 19535040, Id=7
/dev/hda3 : start= 58605120, size= 19551105, Id=83
/dev/hda4 : start= 0, size= 0, Id= 0
so wrong is:
/dev/hda2 : start= 39070080, size= 19535040, Id=7
correct is:
/dev/hda2 : start= 39070080, size= 19535040, Id=83
