[Bug 1236174] [NEW] Grub2 doesn't find it's config file after clean Kubuntu installation

[JR]

Public bug reported:

I've installed the latest Saucy Kubuntu image (amd64) on a new machine
last friday. This is my first time with a efi system - and I don't have
any experience with that. It seems the Kubuntu installer correctly added
the Kubuntu boot entry to the efi boot manager.

My system has 2 Harddisks, a SSD and a normal one.
I boot from the SSD.
I've chosen manual partitions:
  * the efi partition
  * a boot partition with ext2
  * the root partition with btrfs

after rebooting, i get into the grub-shell.

after that, I need to type

configfile (hd2,gpt2)/grub/grub.cfg

and grub starts as normal. I'd prefer having grub finding it's config
file by itself. I even don't know how to force this config file
manually.
