Could you please share the partition layout for that system? Which
partitioning method you picked or if you specified some manual
partitioning. Also, please include how many disks are included, of what
size. I will try to reproduce this bug in a virtual machine for further
debugging.

Title:
  update-grub (grub-probe) during package installation on Cisco UCS B260
  servers - Precise deployment fails with hwe-t kernel

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  In bug 1437475, deploying Precise with maas was failing with curtin
  error with generic ephemeral image.

  With hwe-t kernel it gets passed the curtin error.. However, grub
  looks to be stuck. Looking at the diff for install log minutes apart
  right before deployment gets marked as failed by maas, it looks to be
  retrying the last step:

  Last lines of curtin install log:
