This looks to be very similar that I reported in the first part of

On BIOS-boots the EFI /sys mount is not present.
I've read #1039710, I can confirm about the syslog issue,
/var/log/syslog has just one line in it.
Regarding GRUB failing to install, I forgot to mention how it actually
looks like: a error screen, red, stating "Failed to mount /target/proc".
The message is pretty misleading though, it's hardcoded in the template,
and it can show up in various situations: when mkdir fails, or when
mount fails, and for either /proc, /sys or /sys/firmware/efi/efivars...
