Bug Description

I ran a test install of ubuntu2104 after which I ran an update in the installed system and files related to grub-efi were upgraded.
I later removed this installation during a re-install.
The files on my installation media relating to grub-efi would have been older than those actually installed in the boot on my pc.
I think this probably caused the crash.
If I get the latest version of the beta [is that possible?] I don't think there would be a problem.
I did actually manage to install but got a warning there might be problems.

This evening I ran into this error while installing Ubuntu 21.04.

I upgraded from 20.04 by formatting the existing ext4 partition.

My BIOS is set to Legacy mode.

Then suddenly I got this error and that ended the installation.

I tried again, but same error message.

Then I read about the efi partition, so I removed it. After that I could finally install the new system.
