Bug Description
Binary package hint: debian-installer
TEST CASE:
http://
I'm using kubuntu-
The installation runs as expected. No errors are reported. After rebooting, grub does not load. It's not that grub does not load linux, but rather that the hardware never passes control to the grub menu. It stays at the grey mac boot screen, as if there were no operating systems. Holding 'Alt' during boot, which is the standard way to boot when only Linux is installed on the Mac, offers no partition to boot.
Installing the same system in the same manner without an encrypted LVM works fine. I did not test installing an unencrypted LVM.

Could you attach installer logs? You should be able to get to them from rescue mode on the CD; they're in /var/log/ installer/ syslog and /var/log/ installer/ partman.
