Bug Description
Performing a new install on a SSD device (sdc).
Installing xubuntu itself to a new ext4 partition on the drive seems to work fine, but at the end of the installer it crashes with the error:
"Executing 'grub-install /dev/sdc' failed. This is a fatal error"
The drive also has a new 512MB EFI partition created through the installer.
