Title:
  14.04 - 20140220 - GRUB install on UEFI / GPT partitions failing

Status in “grub-installer” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  
  Trying this daily build of xubuntu 14.04 (20130220) on my brand new AMD system. AMD FX6300, ASUS M5A97 UEFI enabled board, 1TB WD Green, 8GB RAM. Everything works out of the box -- The USB booting and the installer -- but the grub installtion stage failed with error message - "Failed to install grub-efi to /target".

  FWIW, I've already formatted the brand new drive with GPT has the
  below partions currently configured:

  500MB => /boot (with boot flag set on this)
  50GB => /
  100GB => /home
  8GB => SWAP

  Gave up lastly with no help from any threads on this subject. What
  should be done to fix it?

  Please help fix this error.
