[Bug 1880449] [NEW] package grub-efi-amd64-signed 1.128.2+2.04-1ubuntu12.2 failed to install/upgrade: installed grub-efi-amd64-signed package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1

[Tomek Kowal]

Public bug reported:

This may be firmware bug.

This commonly happens on Intel S5520HC, HCV and HCT motherboards. It's
dual LGA1366 system, and this happens only in UEFI mode. Legacy works
fine. I suspect BCD region in UEFI is marked read only, so grub and shim
install fails. On this board I have to manually add boot entry and path
to EFI executable.

It's also impossible to completely install Ubuntu on this.

Affects Intel's S5520UR, and WillowBrook systems.
