[Bug 1020340] Re: grub-efi cannot install error while installing 12.04 to SSD

[damormino]

Error Dialog Text:
 The 'grub-efi' package failed to install into /target/. WIthout the GRUB boot loader, the installed system will not boot.

Noteable Hardware:
 Shuttle SH67H0 mainboard (supports UEFI???)
 Crucial 256GB M4 SSD (SSD Hard drive)

Reproduce steps:
 1. Boot to ubuntu-12.04-desktop-amd64 usb drive.
 2. Make sure target hard drive (SSD) is clear:  "sudo shred -n 0 -fz /dev/sda"
 3. Click on "Install Ubuntu 12.04 LTS" icon.
 4. Follow normal installation dialogs.
 5. Select to Erase drive and install.

During ">Installing the 'grub2' package...", the dialog titled "GRUB installation failed" appears with the message: 
 "The 'grub-efi' package failed to install into /target/. WIthout the GRUB boot loader, the installed system will not boot."

Bug description:
   grub-efi cannot install error while installing 12.04 from USB key to
  SSD.  I believe the BIOS in the computer (Shuttle SH67H0) supporting
  UEFI may be of issue?
