[Bug 1582745] Re: Ubuntu xenial installer crashes when grub installation failed

[Phillip Susi]

You are attempting to install in bios mode to a disk that is partitioned
using GPT.  You either need to create a 1 mb bios_grub partition,
install in EFI mode instead ( and create an EFI system partition ), or
reformat the disk and use MBR instead of GPT.
