1.2-29a2eb3 Installer fails at final stage installing GRUB. |

Going through the GUI installer selecting all the defaults, and install with LVM and ecryption, AND for the normal option without encryption I get these errors on TWO different laptops, both ~10 years old with BIOS.
Encrypted:
Installing for i386-pc platform.
grub-install: warning: this GPT partition label contains no BIOS Boot Partition; embedding won't be possible.
grub-install: error: embedding is not possible, but this is required for RAID and LVM install.
Unencrypted:
Installing for i386-pc platform.
grub-install: warning: this GPT partition label contains no BIOS Boot Partition; embedding won't be possible.
grub-install: warning: Embedding is not possible. GRUB can only be installed in this setup by using blocklists. However, blocklists are UNRELIABLE and their use is discouraged..
grub-install: error: will not proceed with blocklists.

I pushed it to master as 19c14d95b3 after running successfully these
system tests.
Thank you very much, and happy hacking!
