[Bug 842838] [NEW] grub-efi-amd64 does not allow system to boot on HP 8200 Ellite CMT

[Beastyvoid]

Public bug reported:

When installing a system with RAID 1 on two disks on a EFI computer,
Ubuntu installs grub-efi-amd64 instead of grub-pc. This should be the
correct behaviour, but at the end of the installation, the system in
unbootable.

For info, Debian testing Wheezy, nightly build of yesterday (sep 5 2011)
is working, because it doesn't install grub-efi-amd64 but sticks to
grub-pc

I've testing with two identical drives in mirror, first with a GPT
label, then with a MSDOS label. The result is the same, system not
bootable.

I have tested with Ubuntu AMD64 11.10 Beta 1, and 11.04. The result is
the same with both releases.

I would like to see a true UEFI disto being able to install with all
functionnalities : RAID, LVM, UEFI, GPT, but there is still some work.

The system is a brand new HP Ellite 8200 CMT (Core i7, 4G RAM).
