Bug Description

Installing xenial from a live session into a USB3 drive. May be related to bug #1303790, though the fix there looks old enough to already be in the xenial installer.

USB3 layout (gdisk -l /dev/sdc outuput)

Your installation medium is corrupt. You will need to recreate it and may want to verify it using the check disc option at the boot menu.
