[Bug 916299] Re: Ubiquity uses grub-efi instead of grub-pc on non-GPT disk

[YannUbuntu]

Please find attached /var/log/installer/syslog and partman
The user managed to reinstall GRUB successfully. Current BootInfo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/892926

Remarks:
- the "dmesg | grep EFI" output is much shorter now. (i don't know why, nor what it means)
- when i originally filled the bug, i supposed that Ubiquity used grub-efi because of the presence of the "insmod efi_gop" , and "insmod efi_uga" in the grub.cfg. But currently these elements are still there even with grub-pc, so i guess now that my supposition was wrong, and Ubiquity indeed used grub-pc (but failed) ? if yes, i'll have to re-title this bug.

** Description changed:

+ a user installed Ubuntu in dual-boot with Windows on a non-GPT computer.
  The default installation failed (no access to Ubuntu), and broke access to Windows.
  
  Here is the Boot-Info-Script summary after installation:

- It seems that Ubiquity should have installed grub-pc instead of grub-
- efi.
+ We can see the presence of the "insmod efi_gop" , and "insmod efi_uga"
+ in the grub.cfg (does it mean that Ubiquity installed grub-efi?)
