[Bug 1668054] Re: install of grub failed using a zesty usb installer image from 20170213

[Phillip Susi]

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:
  install of grub failed using a zesty usb installer image from 20170213

Status in grub-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  In the installer I selected :
  sda:
    1: /  btrfs
    2: swap

  sdb:
    1: ext4  16.04 (previously used system parition UEFI)
    2: remove swap parition

  sdc:
    windows 10 paritions

  The system was booted in UEFI mode, the drive sda was previously used
  in a laptop that booted with legacy BIOS mode. So there was a warning
  during the installer that it might not be able to boot all images.

  Then during install of grub there was an error, that I could not
  detect in the install log.
