[Bug 1839444] [NEW] Grub2 Can't install on /dev/sda

[Liang Kang]

Public bug reported:

I wonder if this problem is associated with my hardware. (Sorry for my poor writing)
I'm using Lenovo ideapad320-14iap, when I trying to install Ubuntu, I always meet the problem of the grub2.

When the Ubuntu 19.04 is the installed version, I got lots of error code
(eax, etc.) that seemed about the cpu and said "Kernel Panic"

When the Ubuntu 19.10 Daily Build is the installed version, I did not
get the long error output but get the error line, as the "Shim" was
installing , I got a message "Grub can't install on /dev/sda"


IF I ADD THE ARGUMENT "--no-bootloader" AND INSTALL GRUB MANUALLY, I WON'T GET ANY ERROR ABOUT THE BOOTLOADER
