[Bug 1197140] [NEW] ubuntu installation crashes during bootloader grub install

[Michael Crabb]

Public bug reported:

I have a new Lenovo ideapadZ585 - 1TB HD, 8 GB RAM
Attempting to dual boot Ubuntu12.04.2 LTS with (pre installed) Windows 8.
I have Secureboot disabled and UEFI BIOS set (also tried with Legacy, and other combinations).
Tried to install Ubuntu next to Windows8 (also tried manual partitioning too into swap, home and root)
Everytime I try installing, the installation crashes during bootloader, with the error 'grub-install dummy fatal error.
Not sure if this is relevant, but looking at boot setup, 'ubuntu' is an option but when click on this Windows8 loads instead.
