[Bug 1277865] Re: Cannot install Ubuntu 14.04 on EFI hardware

[Flavio Primo]

When I install Ubuntu from a pendrive with UEFI mode the installation crashes as I described above.
If I install Ubuntu without UEFI mode it installs correctly on the "disk 2", but in the bios I can't set it as default bootable partition, but if I manually boot "disk 2" from the bios, grub and ubuntu start as they should and it works fine.

My HDD and partitions:
** disk 0 (500GB)
partition 1: NTFS (Documents)

**disk 1 (500GB)
partition 1 (350MB): NTFS - System Reserved for Windows 8.1
partition 2: NTFS - Windows 8.1 x64

**disk 2 (80GB)
partition 1: ext4 - Ubuntu Linux 14.04 x64 and grub <-- The drive where I want to install ubuntu
