[Bug 1914861] [NEW] Ubuntu 20.10 grub install fail on Dell R900 with single SSD

[Keith Goodwin]

Public bug reported:

I am using a Dell R900 as a test server with quad CPU configuration and 112GB Ram.
I have been unable to install Ubuntu 20.10 onto it and have removed everything from the server, down to the base hardware.
There is now only a single SSD in the first drive slot, connected to the Dell Perc 6, non raid.
I have tried all options and configurations with the disk configuration in the installer.
