I've never had a problem installing Ubuntu VMs before on Proxmox, but today I tried spinning another one up and it is giving me an error when it comes to the bootloader. Specifically it says: An installation step failed. You can try to run the failing item again from the menu, or skip it and choose something else. The failing step is: Install the GRUB boot loader on a hard disk.

Does anyone know how I can remedy this problem? It's just odd how it randomly started happening and I've tried multiple installations and I'm receiving the same error.
 
How big is the disk you have set for the VM?

How big did you set the /boot partition during setup?
