Apr 12, 2018 - Step 1Install VirtualBox. Installing VirtualBox couldn't be easier. Do not add a virtual hard disk: This allows us to run Kali Linux in live mode. Select your preferred installation mode in the GRUB menu, and install as usual. To install the VirtualBox an error occurred and it says the installation failed.

Tried to install 10.10 yesterday and eventually got an error that Grub had failed to install. Asked me to select another partition, cancel install or continue without a bootloader. Everytime I selected another partition the error would just pop back up immediately (not convinced it even tried writing anything to disk). I did do some partitioning when I was in the installer - shrunk an ntfs partition and grew the Linux one to make up for it - the defaults were set to place at beginning of drive and logical (as opposed to primary), so I left it with that. The first time grub just went to the recovery prompt - but most of the commands that were 'supposed' to work, didn't (been reading articles and how-tos). After another reinstall and an attempt to install manually I got through to the grub> prompt, but have failed to get much further.

I've checked the grub directory and there's no grub.cfg anywhere, but it's definitely 1.9x that's installed. There should be no Legacy Grub installations anymore, that I'm aware of. Have gone through various methods to try and load a kernel or configure grub but they've all been unsuccessful.

For example: EDIT: Sorry, you're right, I should have been clearer, left a lot of space for assumptions there. Was writing it while researching/rebooting. I have actually managed to work around it, but I will get back with that partition table 'cause I'm pretty sure something is wrong somewhere - still unable to get the distro installer to install grub, as it should.

Just ran update-grub once I got into Ubuntu proper.

Your post has been viewed 12 times now with no replies. That may be because you have provided little information for anyone to understand your situation.

Specifically: • you have not listed your partition table and said what each partition is • you said you were installing 10.10 but said you resized a linux partition (of what Linux?) • you said you checked the 'grub directory', but which one? /boot/grub/ is where it should be for grub2 which is default for a clean install.

There definitely CAN be legacy grubs around if you have been doing upgrades rather than new installs. Have you tried installing GRUB2 from a live CD following the instructions on the page you referenced or on which I believe is more recent than your reference (though it may have been created based on the reference you gave)?
