[Bug 1055205] Re: grub2 installation fails on HP Envy 17 - crashes entire install

[Jeff Revesz]

** Description changed:

  Installation Failure on HP Envy 17. Full wipe and clean install.
  
- Version: 1:9.8.1.dfsg.P1-4ubuntu0.2
+ Version: Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS "Precise Pangolin"
  
  Expected To Happen: Installation would complete successfully.
  
  What Happened Instead:
  
  Installation failed on grub bootloader install. Says that grub cannot
  install to the specified directory.
  
  After grub installation fails, a popup box appears with various
  alternative installation locations like /boot/RAID-0-xxxxx
  
  The dropdown box allows you to select an option, but it is impossible to
  hit OK so you can never get past this step.
