[Bug 1435664] Re: Installer crashes trying to install grub on EFI system with custom partition latout.

[Mercury]

Well, this really was my fault.  I forgot to make a separate /boot
partition outside of the encrypted area.

Once I reinstalled with that fixed it broke differently, specifically no
/etc/crypttab was created, and so the initramfs didn't know how to
access the root partition.

Still not fun, but this is getting pretty far into wishlist territory instead of actual bugs.
(It shouldn't be that hard to support LVM under LUKS for a dual boot setup from the installer, it's really the same dance as usual for that setup except just in the free space.  But again, this is getting very wishlisty.  And it would be against the installer, not grub.)

Title:
  Installer crashes trying to install grub on EFI system with custom
  partition latout.

Status in grub-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Installing Ubuntu 14.10 on an HP x360 13" unit.

  This is a UEFI system running Windows 8.1.

  The goal was to do dual boot, with an encrypted partition containing
  LVM, with root and swap under the LVM.

  I ended up creating the crypt partition with the installer, and then
  had to go in and create the entire LVM setup from the terminal, not
  ideal, but..

  Sadly, whilehe system did try and install everything, at the end it
  attempted to setup grub, and failed.
