[Bug 1472606] [NEW] cannot install UEFI grub in /target/ and installation crashed

[alex]

Public bug reported:

While installing Ubuntu 14.04 LTS on my Lenovo Y50-70 laptop installation crashed.
I selected UEFI installation and manually created two partition ou of the "C" drive of Windows 8.1
one for "/" and one for "swap"
At a point installation crashed because UEFI grub cannot be installed.
