[Bug 1728177] [NEW] failed to install GRUB boot loader

[Peter Char]

Public bug reported:

Installing Ubuntu 17.10 on Asus i7 Haswell laptop.
GRUB installation fails, error message states the following.

"The 'grub-efi-amd64-signed" package failed to install into /target/.
Without the GRUB boot loader, the installed system will not boot.'

The installation was using a custom partition scheme. I set the 550mb
for /boot, 500mb for Grub, 84GB for / (root) and 3GB for Swamp. I have
an existing 150GB /Home directory I was looking to keep.

This maybe because I tried creating a /boot and grub partitions on a
single disc.
