Title:
  installer crash (grub2) during installation in UEFI mode

Status in grub-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  A few days back I installed Ubuntu on msata ssd successfully with same usb stick (using "accidentially" legacy bios mode).
  Today I replaced internal 2.5 inch hdd with 2.5 inch ssd to install Ubuntu in UEFI mode.
  But installation fails with the following error in /target/log/log/apt/history.log
