Title:
  Installing from sd card fails on some hardware

Status in grub-installer package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I can't reproduce this on my Dell Inspiron 11, but it does happen on a
  Dell XPS13.

  1. Download Ubuntu and write it to an SD Card
    Note: The SD Card was written using Etcher from a Mac - maybe that has an effect?
  2. Boot from the SD Card and do a default install (UEFI is on)
  3. When trying to write grub to the boot partition grub-installer chooses to write to /dev/mmcblk0 instead of /dev/sda and fails.
