Hello,
below is the output of :
* parted -l,
* 'parted print ' of the first partition (sda1)
* 'find -ls ' of all files in that partition
This is after I installed Ubuntu 16.04, but to me it looks like there is nothing changed, but I can not promise.

To assert that I'm not using Legacy boot, I went to BIOS and
disabled the '[ ] Enable Legacy Option ROMs' flag.
The system still boots.
I hope this is some help.

Title:
Installer crashes with UEFI, can't install grub to /target/
Status in grub-installer package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
I try to install Ubuntu 16.04, daily build from yesterday (2016-04-15) on a Dell XPS 13 (2015).
The Dell has a preinstalled Ubuntu 14.04 (installed by Dell).
I did this:
Installer on USB Stick
Power on
Bios-Setting are keept as they were: UEFI on, secure boot off.
Boot from USB Stick in UEFI-Mode.
Try Ubuntu ...
Then started the installer.
Installed with this layout:
/ to /dev/sda5 (just a free partion)
grub to /dev/sda
The installer run a few minutes, the I get two messages:
first, something with ' can' t install grub to /target/ ...'
Then " the installer crashed' , and some apport reporting dialog opens, which redirects me to this web page.
I tried serveral times, the result is every time the same.
When I Install in Legacy mode, I can Install, but am not able to boot
the installed system (which is another issue, and might be due to
missing knowledge of myself, anyway any hint is welcome).
