[Bug 1382868] [NEW] Grub2 fails to install, terminates OS installation

[Chalen]

Public bug reported:

Trying to install Linux on Windows 8 (newest version, I think 8.2) on a
Dell laptop but Grub2 fails to install.  Fatal error.  I already turned
off fast boot and secure boot.  This is my 3rd try.  Thanks.
