  efibootmgr Kernel panic  with UEFI ASUS motherboards

Status in “efibootmgr” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  Ubuntu: 11.10 oneiric
  Package: grub-efi 1.99-12ubuntu5

  While installing Ubuntu on my Asus 1215b using a Live USB, A kernel
  panic was being issued and Ubuntu wouldn't boot. After trying to
  install manually (issuing a grub-install command), the same problem
  occurred. My partitions are as follow: a 100MB FAT32 efi partition on
  /dev/sda1, a 2GB swap on /dev/sda2, a 100GB ext4 partition for /
  (boot) and an ext4 partition for /home with what's left.

  Steps to reproduce:

  follow the guide here http://askubuntu.com/questions/53578/can-i
  -install-in-uefi-mode-with-the-alternate-installer/57380#57380 and
  execute grub-install using this command:

  sudo grub-install --recheck --no-floppy --force
