[Bug 1640795] Re: Unable to install GRUB in /dev/sda

[Phillip Susi]

Strange... it isn't according to https://www.ubuntu.com/about/about-
ubuntu/flavours, and it does not seem to have an image for download on
cdimage.ubuntu.com.  Maybe it's just too new yet.  In any case, your
problem appears to be that you booted in EFI mode but your disk is
partitioned for a bios mode boot.  The installer warned that you should
not proceed with an EFI mode install, but you chose to anyhow.
