[Bug 1629348] [NEW] installer crash (grub2) during installation in UEFI mode

[ErikH]

Public bug reported:

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
