I got bit. I attempted a new install of the latest (as of 2021-08-01) 18.04 (5.xx kernel as I recall) onto a 19GB partition (/dev/sdf2) on one disk while specifying the bootloader location be onto a different disk (/dev/sda) with an existing, working, boot-efi partition (/dev/sda1).
I had done this same os install successfully onto a 7GB partition on a 3rd disk (/dev/sdc2) just before. On the 19GB install, a fatal error occurred suggesting it was unable to write to do the final grub install onto /dev/sda. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1766945 Title: (EFI on top of legacy install) choosing "replace" or "resize" options in partitioning may lead to an install failure To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/partman-auto/+bug/1766945/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
