  This bug probably only affects laptops with immature efi implementations.
- The uefi-bios of the lenovo x325 has a problem with the efi file structure of grub-efi. After the latest grub-efi update it would not boot but only displayed "Operating system not found". I fixed this by creating a efi startup script on the efi partition, booting from a usb-stick.
