I just had a look inside syslog, and you learn something new every day
it seems:
It would appear that installing grub onto an XFS logical partition is
disallowed, and this is the underlying cause of the Python stack trace?
I believe bug is still valid however; the installer should catch the failure
and not crash with the integer error message.

DOS-style boot. Installing GRUB there could result in FILESYSTEM DESTRUCTION
if valuable data is overwritten by grub-setup (--skip-fs-probe disables this
check, use at your own risk).
