[Bug 1910602] [NEW] crashed on ubuntu 20.10 fresh install

[Erik Peterson]

Public bug reported:

attempted to install using something else and creating custom partitions for everything. i'm guessing that by choosing not to create EFI partition but one for all other cases, even booting and installing through CSM, that that is why it caused this error? was thrown warning about not creating EFI partition, but that was what I was trying to do, bypass EFI to install only legacy. I Did read from others online that this bug apparently exists atm, where one must install fresh through focal fossa (20.04 LTS) legacy BIOS and then upgrade through there in order to ensure full legacy BIOS, no EFI/UEFI and thus no ESP, but I was hoping it could still be done fresh. Thank you =)
