I believe we've addressed the crashes in installer with this bug:
https:/
This reverts part of the original changes, to catch cases where an ESP isn't present and the system in booting in UEFI mode: rather than crashing, there will be a clear warning presented to change the partitioning scheme used (to add an ESP partition).
If you absolutely don't want to do that, then the solution will be to boot in BIOS mode, where such a requirement doesn't exist (ie. if you boot in BIOS mode Ubuntu will install in BIOS mode; if you boot in UEFI mode, Ubuntu will install in UEFI mode; and if you install in UEFI mode, you should boot to disk in UEFI mode -- that's typically where things will break; people might be forced into booting in a specific mode for disk, and a different mode for USB / DVD).
If you are having issues with booting in the right mode for what you want; you might want to check forums/ doc for your particular BIOS, some have their own little quirks we might not know about.
In other words, I think we're handling this properly now, by forcing the creation of an ESP when you do the partitioning rather than crashing at the end of the install and not letting you know why things went badly.
