[Bug 1512193] Re: arm64: report 'error: failure writing sector 0x19df788 to `hd0'' after a fresh install

[Ming Lei]

The issue can be work around by commenting 'recordfail' in the boot entry of 'Ubuntu'.

And it can be reproduced on upstrem grub too.

Looks the sectors wroten to hd0 is out of range in the partition, and it
should be bug in grub.
