A potentially useful experiment is to try installing grub manually
on the partition, and see if it works, or if it doesn't, what errors
it reports.
The installer may be suppressing error reports. I believe you can
view the installation log during the install, from an alt console, but
I'm not 100% sure it's possible, and I certainly don't remember how.
