Bug Description

Tried again and again to install 13.04 on my new SSD - it goes fine until it tries to install the boot loader then various does nothing, reports some kind of bug error and tries to send an error report but the machine reboots before you have time to type or says something like /boot/grub is not readable by grub on boot then reboots.

I've tried various ways of formatting the disk and various methods of manually installing grub (asks for grub efi but partition table is "msdos"?).

Installs on on the HDD installed in the system _but_ I want to boot and run the system from the SSD.

Now what?
