grub-efi cannot be installed on /target/

[ajpro]

Installing 17.04 in ASUS X200CA netbook in UEFI mode. Crashes during installation of grub2 says that grub-efi- cannot be installed in /target/
This issue is there in 16.04 too. Sad to see it still isnt rectified.

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.

I made a EFI partition (192 MB) and still got this bug in a 18.04 installer.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
