[Bug 1727646] Re: 16.04 installer crashes when using lvm

[Phillip Susi]

Your disk is currently partitioned to boot in bios mode, but you booted
the installer in EFI mode. A warning message prompted you that this
could be a problem and recommended performing a bios mode install
instead, but you chose not to. You either need to perform the bios mode
install, or partition the disk using GPT and set up an EFI system
partition to install in EFI mode. This will be done for you if you
choose the "use entire disk" guided install option.

Title:
  16.04 installer crashes when using lvm

Status in grub-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Trying to install 16.04 from live usb. Installer fails at grub installation.
  Why doesn't the installer switch to the text version and let the user go though the different installation tasks?
