Comment 23 for bug 1507505

Similar to the other bug reports, I receive the following error when following the installation wizard on Ubuntu 16.04: "Unable to install GRUB in /dev/nvme"

I was able to get an encrypted install of Ubuntu with v16.04 with the bootloader on /dev/nvme0n1 working with UEFI boot, with some small tweaks following comments #14 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub-installer/+bug/1507505/comments/14) and #19 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub-installer/+bug/1507505/comments/19),

The steps I followed in the installer were:

1) Select manual partition setup
2) make sure drive /dev/nvme0n1 is blank
3) create a partition at front of drive, 1000MB (whatever size you need), mapped to /boot
4) create "physical encrypted partition" following the boot partition with the remaining space
5) assign new encrypted partition with the / mount point
6) select /dev/nvme0n1 as the partition to install the boot loader
