Your disk appears to have been partitioned under an ancient partitioning
tool that did not leave enough room for grub to install.  You will need
to remove at least the first partition and recreate it so that it leaves
the proper amount of space.

Title:
  installation of 16.04 crashes on installing grub, even skipping does
  not work

Status in grub-installer package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I am trying to install ubuntu 16.04 on an lvm partition created on my
  main disk where a windows partition is also present. I was using 14.04
  and grub before. But now it crashes upon installation as grub cannot
  be found. Even though I end up in grub on bootup. I've tried selecting
  both sda and sdb as disk containing grub but installation fails. Even
  trying to skip setting up of grub didn succeed.
