Bug Description

Installing Ubuntu 17.10 on Asus i7 Haswell laptop.
GRUB installation fails, error message states the following.

"The 'grub-efi-amd64-signed" package failed to install into /target/. Without the GRUB boot loader, the installed system will not boot.'

The installation was using a custom partition scheme. I set the 550mb for /boot, 500mb for Grub, 84GB for / (root) and 3GB for Swamp. I have an existing 150GB /Home directory I was looking to keep.

This maybe because I tried creating a /boot and grub partitions on a single disc.
