[Bug 1837244] [NEW] grub installation at sda1 crashed after about 80% installation process

[Angelo Morsiquillo]

Public bug reported:

Grub could have probably crashed because I'm using a Solid State Drive
formatted using GPT. When I was asked by the Installer to provide
another partition for efi, I modified the 1st partition to provide 500
MB and another about 4GB, then I formatted the 500 MB with ext4 assigned
to be the efi partition, accordingly GRUB failed so I have to go back to
partitioning, and I formatted the 500 MB partition to fat32 and again
GRUB failed to install at it, what about if I try not to format it at
all. This seemed to be not a problem when I installed Ubuntu in my
laptop using BIOS, not efi, and MBR instead of GPT, and SATA instead of
SSD.
