I have multiple drives in my system and have tried to install the bootloader to multiple different ones using the GUI installer, and get an error every time.
The paste log is here: https://termbin.com/a7zf
2024-09-21 - 00:04:20 [1]: ERROR: Installation failed: “Bootloader installation error”
grub-install --target=i386-pc --recheck --force /dev/sda returned error code 1.
No idea how to resolve this

What are the hardware specifications of your system. Is it a UEFI capable system or just BIOS? If its the former, you may need to disable CSM support.

Installing for i386-pc platform.

It appears to install on a GPT, while being using BIOS. Does this computer has a UEFI?
