[Bug 985163] Re: installation on a new disk crashed

[Phillip Susi]

You tried to install grub to a partition in the disk, when it needs to
be installed to the whole disk instead, and you need to have a 1 mb
bios_grub partition since it is a GPT partitioned disk but you are
booting in bios mode.

** Changed in: grub-installer (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Invalid
