Title:
  Freshly-installed system won't boot on Eee PC

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When I install Ubuntu or Xubuntu on my Eee PC, the install happens
  with no errors or troubles of any kind, the liveUSB environment works
  perfectly, but when I reboot, my Eee PC 1215B laptop stops with
  "Reboot and select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected
  Boot device and press a key". I have tried manually installing grub,
  manually partitioning, and even fully manually installing Funtoo linux
  on the system, but nothing has worked. The system is there, installed,
  when I chroot into it from the liveUSB, but it's not able to boot.

  Same results from installing 12.04 and 13.04.
