Public bug reported:

Lubuntu jammy daily QA test install to
- hp dc7700 (c2d-e6320, 8gb amd/ati rv610/radeon hd2400 pro/xt)

This is an old (2005) machine (upgraded RAM, cpu & gpu only); no uEFI of
any kind, thus I did NOT expect any issues with install.

The installation media was booted from VENTOY media; my first attempt
using ventoy; so I cannot rule out it causing issues here though here;
to rule out ventoy involvement, I'd have to re-write media using normal
`mkusb` or `dd`

** expected result

calamares install completes; reboot & first login

** actual result

Calamares reports

"Installation Failed"
"Bootloader installation error"

Details
---
The bootloader could not be installed. The installation command <pre>grub-install --target=i386-pc --recheck --force /dev/sda</pre> returned error code 1.
---

I've had a recent error on an jammy install; this thus could be
duplicate; but I'm unsure at this stage. I'll amend when at my primary
box & have searched.
