Did you manually unselect grub from the list of packaes to be installed? It was not installed by the installer looking at the install log.
I unselected all packages from the install list. I selected grub now and it work. This is still a BIG problem though. The installer should select GRUB as a dependancy and automatically intall it, just like the installer selects lilo by automatic dependancy.
We make sure that this is done now.
