Title:
  fresh install fails during installation of grub-efi

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  i try install ubuntu 11.10 on a lenovo x121e.
  first I have to remove a script with:
  sudo rm /usr/lib/ubiquity/apt-setup/generators/40cdom

  this prevents that the setup try to add the not existing cd to the
  repositories.

  
  when the installation ask where to install, I choose the defult option. install on first hdd with 1 big partition. after filling the remaining forms, the installation continue....
  until the grub2 is installed. during this process the error message comes "unable to install grub-efi to /target/"

  due to this error the installation is aborted
