[Bug 1449704] Re: Ubuntu installer crashes during install.

[Phillip Susi]

The install failed because you are booting in bios mode and have a GPT
partitioned disk, but it does not have a bios_grub partition.  If you
want to boot in bios mode from GPT you have to create a 1mb bios_grub
partition on the disk.  If you wish to boot in EFI mode instead, you
need to get your bios to boot the install cd in EFI mode.

Title:
  Ubuntu installer crashes during install.

Status in grub-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Installing Ubuntu Gnome 14.04.2 from USB drive created in GNOME Disks tool.  Boot from EFI not available, but this system is in UEFI mode.  Technically this should be two tickets, but I'm jaded of filing bug reports.
  Failed to install grub, and then installer crashed.  On this computer Fedora and OpenSUSE are the only distro's that install correctly.  The dual disk (2.5" and M.2) and the Broadwell HD5500 have been a headache since day one.
