Hi Canonical.  Some recent comments were made private by mistake.  Catching you 
up...

Installation of Boot loader failed again, so the reason here might be
stale data on disk.

1. No parts are preseeded ,i am trying single disk installation, and
when i hit with the boot loader issue, there is a option <GO
BACK/CONTINUE> which will take us to Main Menu, even at the end  of
installation we have that option, so it is easy to navigate to Main
Menu.

I was hit with the same issue even with multipath disk installation.

I will attach logs for further investigation

To sum up where we are: It looks like this error is *not* seen after we wipe 
the disks, but then is seen on the first install following that.
