Bug Description
Hi All,
I accidentally erased my OSX partition. Now there is only Windows XP on my harddrive. As I tried to install ubuntu on my MacBook, the crash occurred at the end of the installation process when the GRUB is to be installed.
Content of the crash dialog:

Thanks for your report. You're using an Intel Mac, which isn't quite supported yet, but this will work properly in Feisty. This is also bug 46853.
