Title:
  Installing 20.10 from SD card on Dell 7390 Developers Edition Fails on
  Grub Install

Status in grub-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Live booted from 20.10 installer on SD card on Dell 7390 Developers
  edition.

  20.10 Install fails at grub install no mater which disk MBR install is
  set to (Error on Grub-install says insufficient space).

  My hunch, but not a lot of evidence to prove it, is that it is trying
  to install MBR / grub on currently live-mounted SD card, and failing,
  despite confirming the MBR setting on the installer screen is set to
  internal drive multiple times and retrying.

  (Note - I had a Previously working 20.04 install, so I don't think my
  EFI Partition is corrupt, and it has plenty of space).
