Bug Description
Ubuntu 15.04 x86_64
Windows 8.1 is my primary OS. I tried to install Ubuntu along side Windows. I created 2 partitions (swap and / [ext4]). Install goes flawlessly till it gets to grub. Grub tries to install and fails. No error #, etc. The system is a DELL with: AMD A10-5745M APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics (Gallium 0.4 on AMD ARUBA).

Your EFI system partition is corrupt. You will need to repair it with dosfsck in linux or chkdsk in windows.
