[Bug 1701878] Re: grub2 was not successfully installed

Your disk is currently partitioned to boot in bios mode, but you booted
the installer in EFI mode. A warning message prompted you that this
could be a problem and recommended performing a bios mode install
instead, but you chose not to. You either need to perform the bios mode
install, or partition the disk using GPT and set up an EFI system
partition to install in EFI mode. This will be done for you if you
choose the "use entire disk" guided install option.

Title:
  grub2 was not successfully installed

Status in grub-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  The parition had 17.10 installed. I was trying to install 16.04 by
  erasing all data on it. To do that I deleted that parition and swap.
  Then recreated a new partition with different size. Installation stops
  when the grub2 package is being installed.
