Hi Sai! That's the correct behaviour, we do want to create the ESP, and we also do want you to create an ESP when partitioning.
The messaging is not entirely accurate on BIOS systems, as absence of ESP is not immediately fatal, but only would be when you switch to UEFI booting. I think keeping the message as is was the correct choice for this release compared to adding a new text that's completely untranslated. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1893964 Title: Installation of Ubuntu Groovy with manual partitioning without an EFI System Partition fails on 'grub-install /dev/sda' even on non-UEFI systems To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1893964/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
