Title:
  Grub fails to install bootloader on NVMe drives

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  On a new NUC 6th Generation i3 / i5 from Intel installed with an NVMe
  SSD the installation process find the drive but grub fails to detect
  it correctly or install the boot loader in the disk.

  This is the latest daily download of Ubuntu-16.04-desktop 64bit
  This uses this standard grub for this version (I believe it is grub that fails to install the boat loader)

  After booting the system and going completely through selecting the
  disk and installing all the software it then fails to install the
  bootloader.

  What happens instead it gives a list of devices and selecting either
  n0p1 or just n0 it does nothing.

  I have reported this bug using the try without installing software on
  the version i tried to install.
