Bug Description
Hi,
since eoan and kernel 5.2, the installation fails when installing grub at the end.
Actually /dev/nvram does not exist.
nvram support was previously built in the kernel and is now built as a module,
and the module is not shipped within the iso or in udebs.
This is probably due to commit d7d73492dc5f2 in Ubuntu's linux git tree :
