Bug Description

This is an UBUNTU 20.04. All my partitions were ext4 and the installer complained that I didn't have an EFI partition. I deleted the /boot partition and divided into 100 Mb EFI and 900 Mb /boot.

I also tried to have the 1000 Mb /boot to be all EFI.

Either way the installer didn't install.
