Public bug reported:
I connected a clean new hard disk to my new laptop and during the
install, specifically when it tried to write grub to the disk, the
installer crashes.
I investigated a bit more by replacing the disk with an identical new
disk thinking maybe the disk was bad. Same thing happened. I then ran
gparted and got this error:
When I run gparted it reports "The driver descriptor says the physical
block size is 2048 bytes, but Linux says it is 512 bytes."
