Title:
  boot fails on dual boot UEFI System

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I am having trouble with grub ever since. 
  In an earlier version I could manage that my laptop is able to boot
  (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1187345 )
   
  However, since an update to version Ubuntu 14.04 boot is crashing again. 
  Since then I am living with the workaround to interrupt booting and switch into BIOS (by pressing F12) and select a boot option from there. 

  After my latest update I restarted my Computer. 
  No Boot possible.
  black screen, a terrible beep occurs every 2 seconds.
  No possibility to get into BIOS and its boot menu.

  after several attempts of turning on / off the computer I got an:
  "error: symbol 'grub_term_highlight_color' not found"  - error, 
   and I reached the grub-rescue shell.

  I checked the www for help, nevertheless I failed to boot linux from
  there.

  Somehow I managed to boot the system by inserting a "super grub2 disk" which enabled me to get to the BIOS and boot from there.
   
  ************************************************

  The system is now up and running, but I am aware, that grub is still
  not working properly and I will encounter the same problems when
  rebooting.

  Since I never switched to Windows 8 for more than a year, I would be
  OK with getting rid of it, if it would help to get rid of my boot
  problems.

  In https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1187345 it is recommended to run:
  dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc
  to solve a similar problem. 
  However, since I need to run grub-efi, this doesn't work for me.

  Question:
      Is there a similar solution for grub-efi that should solve my issue?

  Thanks in advance for any help!
