[Bug 1487521] [NEW] "No boot device found" on Dell E7250 laptop after clean install with encryption

[David Kaplan]

Public bug reported:

I just did a clean install of Ubuntu 14.04 LTS on a brand new dell
Latitude E7250 laptop and it won't boot claiming "No boot device found".
I chose to completely overwrite the existing Windows 7 installation and
to encrypt the entire installation.  If I boot from the USB stick, I can
see the three partitions created, the first 512MB with the boot flag,
the second 244 MB listed as ext2, but this is presumably swap?? and the
third is the crypt-luks partition that I can open up from the USB boot
and see all the files no problem.  I suspect this is a BIOS boot
configuration problem, but not sure how to diagnose.
