[Bug 1942803] Re: grub-install failed during reinstall

[Malachi de AElfweald]

I finally managed to get it to install (using minimal) on the 6th try. The
only thing I did differently was watch the logs and not click any buttons
if the logs showed that something was in progress.

Title:
  grub-install failed during reinstall

Status in grub-installer package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  This machine was previously running 18.04. I decided to replace it
  with 21.04 (using the ISO via USB) rather than doing an in-place
  upgrade.

  The Ubiquiti installer gets to the grub-install step then fails with:
  ```
  Executing grub-install /dev/nvme2n1 failed
  This is a fatal error
  ```

  TBH I would have expected that it should have been something like
  /dev/nvme2n1p1 since that was the vfat partition it created.

  I tried enabling the same kernel configuration I used to finally get
  18.04 to install a couple years ago, but with the same end result.
