[Bug 1776578] Re: Ubuntu installation stuck at "Installing the 'grub2' package..." every time. Kernel crash every time.

[Daniel van Vugt]

More progress:

16.04: fails
18.04: fails
18.10: fails

Although in testing 16.04 last night I noticed the older kernels are
more difficult to deal with. The touchpad doesn't work and the system is
not responsive enough to collect more info when then failure occurs. I
will continue working backwards from 16.04 at another time, just in case
there is a release that works.

This is such an odd machine-specific bug that I suspected hardware
failure. Although after leaving memtest running for over 24 hours on it
no errors are found.
