[Bug 1314630] [NEW] Ubuntu does not boot after install

[Toufik]

Public bug reported:

I ran into problems while upgrading from 13.10 to 14.04. I decided to
backup my files and do a fresh install (the option called : erase disk
and install). The installation went smoothly, no error reported but when
I reboot there is no Ubuntu (nor grub) screen. I'm simply facing a bios
(?) screen telling me "Windows (sic) did not start please try one these
: boot on an external drive, contact vaio support, ..." My guess is grub
is not correctly installed, I followed a few tutorials, run boot-repair,
... but nothing works.

As far as I can tell, the installation is all right: I can boot into
14.04 with rEFInd on a live USB

I was worried about my hardware so I installed Fedora (erase disk and
install) and it worked!

Boot mode : EFI
Non secure boot
One SSD hard drive
