Public bug reported:
Ubuntu Desktop/Server 17.10.1 allows manual partitioning of a disk and
the selection of a non-ext{3,4} filesystem for the / partition. The
grub2 uefi module (at least the amd64 one) is not baked with support for
all the filesystems that one can deploy Ubuntu during setup. Result:
grub2 is installed and runs after reboot, but errors out before it can
load the kernel as it has not been baked with support for the filesystem
in question.
Tested against an xfs root partition on both physical and virtual
hardware.
Somewhat like #185878, only affecting UEFI instead of MBR installations.
