Bug Description

Binary package hint: grub2

Don't really know what happened. Install claimed to complete successfully (with an unspecified package install error) but new install would not boot. I switched over to tty1 before rebooting the second time, and manually forced a grub-efi install. I don't think it should have tried to install grub-pc on this system, but it failed to install grub-efi and left me with an unbootable system.
