[Bug 1314630] Re: Ubuntu does not boot after install

[Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre]

You mention "non secure boot" in the bug description. Do you mean you've
disabled secure boot in the BIOS? I'd be curious to see if that's a
difference between the Fedora and Ubuntu installs, aside from the other
differences is EFI booting we already know about.

Title:
  Ubuntu does not boot after install

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  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
