Ok.
If I'm correct ubiquity install grub2 by default?
could you look at what kind of config files it generates?

because...
booting to grub's prompt usually means there are no grub config files
found...

And that could be a ubiquity bug as well, ubiquity being the app
delivering a grub install + config based on your install
requiremements... The grub config that we ship is just for reference and
manual installs.

a.
