Comment 13 for bug 260001

Hello,
Is this really the place for bugs to go? I haven't seen anyone from Ubuntu give any comment and this bug went right on through to the final release.
This is a critical bug for me. I cannot install Ubuntu with this bug. I have to have it on a different partition from the other linux system. I also want my grub to be on that other drive, not the main drive. I haven't seen any solution or work around at all other than wipe out my main linux distro which I cannot do.
I hate saying "this other distro does it", but RedHat and Fedora have been able to do this for years.
