[Bug 1666140] Re: Can't install Ubuntu 16.10 on dual boot XPS 13 (9360)

[Phillip Susi]

That was the issue.  From your syslog:

Feb 20 08:11:02 ubuntu kernel: [  106.347233] FAT-fs (nvme0n1p2): error, invalid access to FAT (entry 0x53550306)
Feb 20 08:11:02 ubuntu kernel: [  106.347236] FAT-fs (nvme0n1p2): Filesystem has been set read-only

This later caused grub to fail to install since it can no longer write
to the ESP.

       Status: New => Invalid
