[Bug 1621423] [NEW] installation aborts after failed grub installation

[Christos Alexiou]

Public bug reported:

Installation process of Ubuntu 14.04 goes smoothly until the last step
of installing the GRUB bootloader onto the disk. Then the error message
"failed to install grub on /target/" appears and the installation
crashes.
