Steps to reproduce:
1. Create VM with default setting
2. open VMRC and mount iso ubuntu-19.10-server-amd64.iso(daily build Aug-26)
3. Power on VM, The iso is recognized and it will start to install guestOS
4. During the stage "Partition Disks", we choose the default "Guilded - use
entire disk and set up LVM"
5. Failed to install grub during the installing process. please check attached
"failed_install_grub.png"
relative test:
---------------------
1. No such issue if we choose "Guilded - use entire disk" in stage "Partition
disks" with bios
(check attached partition_method.jpg)
2. No such issue with create VM with EFI firmware in ESXi
3. It's not related to CPU type: Intel/AMD
4. It's not related to disk controller: find the same issue when create
VM with LSI/PVSCSI controller in ESXi
Comments from Vmware's Dev:
The error image says "Failed to install GRUB on /dev/mapper".
I did not find anything unusual in the vmware.log. This looks like an
ubuntu installer bug.
That path /dev/mapper seems incorrect. It should either be a device or a
volume.
I tried resuming the VM and saved debug logs from the guest. I have
uploaded them to the bug.
Vishal and I looked at the syslog but there are no grub-install failure
messages in it.
