Bug Description
In the installer I selected :
sda:
1: / btrfs
2: swap
sdb:
1: ext4 16.04 (previously used system parition UEFI)
2: remove swap parition
sdc:
windows 10 paritions
The system was booted in UEFI mode, the drive sda was previously used in a laptop that booted with legacy BIOS mode. So there was a warning during the installer that it might not be able to boot all images.
Then during install of grub there was an error, that I could not detect in the install log.

Your disk is currently partitioned to boot in bios mode, but you booted the installer in EFI mode. A warning message prompted you that this could be a problem and recommended performing a bios mode install instead, but you chose not to. You either need to perform the bios mode install, or partition the disk using GPT and set up an EFI system partition to install in EFI mode. This will be done for you if you choose the "use entire disk" guided install option.
