[Bug 1753147] [NEW] package grub-efi-amd64-signed 1.66.17+2.02~beta2-36ubuntu3.17 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Vladimir Csanyi]

Public bug reported:

I have a system with 2 installed ubuntu 16.04 OS on sdb disk. On efi-
bios, the sdb-disk is configured to be the boot disk.

On every system update, only on the 2-nd installed system I get this error on grub package re-config process.
Also, only on the 2-nd installed system, at boot, I get the errors:
[...] [Firmware Bug]: AMD-Vi: IOAPIC[9] not in IVRS table
[...] [Firmware Bug]: AMD-Vi: IOAPIC[9] not in IVRS table
[...] [Firmware Bug]: AMD-Vi: No southbridge IOAPIC found
