[Bug 1708591] Re: Grub Installation crashes (clean Ubuntu install)

[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:
  Grub Installation crashes (clean Ubuntu install)

Status in grub-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I am not sure whether this is a bug rather than an incorrect setup for
  my drives. I selected ext4 partitions for /, /home and /usr and
  another ext4 partition for /boot. The installation proceeded
  successfully up to the grub-installer package.
