Public bug reported: Was merely going through the steps as usual to do a clean install of Ubuntu 20.04 on an older PC when I encountered this error at the select boot loader install stage and I tried doing another full erase/format then reinstall but this time it generated the option to send this trouble report. Seems to be an issue at the moment of formatting the selected drive. It is currently plugged in via internal SATA connections, it's a 280 GB SATA laptop drive. I'm thinking it may have possible bad sectors perhaps??
