This has to do with the partition structure and bad handling of it. I wanted to see how the guided partitioning worked so I used it My partitioning scheme was/is a bit, but only a bit, unusual. I have sda1 to 4 where 1 is XP and sda3 extended I let Ubiquty make a guided install in sda2 and let it do as it wanted - split the partition This was done properly and sda3 increased to make room for a new partition, sda10 (used for install) This gave this sequence of partitions (the extended not mentioned) sda1, sda2, sda5 =swap, sda10, sda6, sda7, sda8, sda9, no partition and sda4 The next attempt to install using guided creteated sda11 in the unpartitioned area >From the live CD I deleted sda10 and resized the extended (sda3) back to it's >original size. After that I increased sda2 to fill the gap Installing did work now The grub installer can obviously not handle partitions numbered "out of order" You could say this is not a bug but user error, but I would not agree. One would assume that the installer does not do things in one part that other parts of it cannot handle Why the KDE edition, based on KUbuntu, fixed it I don't know, but it did install And oh how many different options I tested :)
