[Bug 1303790] Re: In UEFI mode, installer crashes if OS is installed on 2nd drive and grub installs successfully but ubiquity doesn't think so

[Wim]

I had the same issue, my SSD was configured on the motherboard as the
3rd device. Trying several times to install Kubuntu 14.10 each time it
failed as described above.

I changed on the motherboard the SSD disk to the 1st SATA and rebooted
.. without having to re-install .. kubuntu started without a problem.

While installing and receiving the pop-up with the error .. I was not
able to send the details ..text box was empty

hope this info helps

Title:
  In UEFI mode, installer crashes if OS is installed on 2nd drive and
  grub installs successfully but ubiquity doesn't think so

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Ubuntu Trusty Desktop 20140406 amd64

  TEST CASE:
  0. Requirement: Create 2 empty disk drives and boot in UEFI mode
  1. Boot from an installation media
  2. Proceed to the partitioner and select 'Entire Disk' and continue
  3. To the question on which disk to install Ubuntu, select '/dev/sdb'
  4. Proceed with the rest of the installation

  ACTUAL RESULT
  The installer crashes when it tries to install grub on /dev/sda

  EXPECTED RESULT
  Same result than in BIOS mode. If installation of grub fails, there is a dialog explaining what failed and proposes to install grub on another disk.
