[Bug 1657662] Re: Error reported after grub installation failure dialog

[jhansonxi]

Note that to install with my specific drive configuration most all
partitioning, raiding, encrypting, and formatting have to be performed
before starting the installer.  The installer partition configuration
dialog is only used to set mountpoints and choose the target partition
for grub.

Title:
  Error reported after grub installation failure dialog

Status in grub-installer package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Complicated md/lvm/dm-crypt setup.  Grub failed to install due to lack
  of bios_grub FAT32 partition.  Space was reserved but didn't know it
  was required for non-EFI system using GPT drive label.  Used gparted
  to format and set required flag on partition then chrooted into
  /target and grub-install to fix it.  Returned to grub failure dialog.
  OK disabled for everything until a different partition selected.  Then
  chose to continue without bootloader since I had manually installed it
  from chroot.  Error dialog displayed and apport submitted it.
