Installing GRUB to your root partition isn't supported, and should
never be necessary anyway.

This is a strange partition layout; it's missing a ‘BIOS boot
partition’ and can never work without forcing GRUB to do something
it doesn't like to do.
Did you create this layout manually? If so, why?
Kind regards,
