I've done more extensive testing and it seems that when installing grub
with the --no-nvram option, all goes well. Setting EFI vars is what
mucks up.
** Summary changed:
- Grub install fails on Apollo Lake Tablet PC
+ Grub install fails when writing to NVRAM on Apollo Lake Tablet PC
** No
Just tried 20.04 and the behaviour has improved, but the core problem remains.
Now, at least the installer recognizes the issue and exits gracefully, but grub
still fails to install.

Title:
Grub install fails on Apollo Lake Tablet PC
To manage
** Description changed:
When installing ubuntu 18.10 on my tablet-PC, the grub installer causes
kernel messages to appear and then hangs indefinitely. I've done some
research and found that Grub apparently doesn't play well with Apollo
Lake based (tablet) PC's, but can't find a bug report
