Public bug reported:

I am trying to install ubuntu 15.04 on a ASUS x205ta. I got passed the initial 
known problem of booting from an usb stick and got ubuntu booted from the live 
stick. Running the actual installation, everything runs smooth and all with 
everything being copied to the main partition mmcblk0p2 and the efi partition 
mmcblk0p1 which are part of the physical device mmcblk0, which to my 
understanding is the netbooks main drive. Close to finishing the installation, 
the it fails running grub-install on /dev/mmcblk0 and the installation cannot 
be resume and no boot loader is created.
try to into grub manual, via the chroot method, does not work either, because 
grub-install /dev/mmcblk0 cannot be execute successfully. grub-install /dev/sda 
can, but this doesnt help because i dont have /dev/sda as a physical device.
I check all alot of source on the internet, and it appears that similar issues 
where encountered by other users as well, on the same device as well. Yet it i 
have not seen any confirmed solution to it.
