  Installer crashes due to bootloader not installing.

Status in grub-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I've been trying to get Ubuntu 18.04 installed no the laptop. I have
  4x drives and I'm installing in /dev/sde which is a 250Gb SSD. Setup
  custom BRTFS partitions, 100Gb (/), 100Gb (home), 8Gb (Swap), free
  space for SSD over-provisioning. Got a "cannot install bootloader on
  /dev/sde", tried changing to /dev/sda, sda1, etc.... but the installer
  didn't allow to cancel or change anything.

  In this last attempt I've let the installer erase the entire disk and
  choose it's own partition setup using LVM. Now there is a different
  error.

  This same laptop has been running Centos 7 and Mint for several years
  without a problem.
