[Bug 1805022] [NEW] ubuntu 18.10 installation crashed on an Intel NUC

[lyakh]

Public bug reported:

I'm having trouble installing grub on this machine. In the beginning I
had an android boot-loader installed on it, that worked, then I wiped
android and installed grub2, that worked too. After one of recent
updates the android2 bootloader re-emerged, but since there was no more
android on the system, it used to hang. Still, using the BIOS "select
boot medium" I was able to boot into the grub. Then I tried to repair
that and then I lost even that ability. Now I tried to install ubuntu to
repair that and it failed too.
