[Bug 1521132] Re: Failed to install Xenial in UEFI mode, failed with "grub-efi-amd64-signed package failed to install into /target/"

[Phillip Susi]

Po-Hsu, can you attach an updated /var/log/syslog and /var/log/partman
after getting this failure again?  Everyone else commenting on this bug
appears to simply be trying to install in EFI mode to a disk that is not
partitioned for EFI and ignored the warning that they should switch back
to bios mode, and so are not experiencing the same thing as Po-Hsu.
