Ok, I found that if I installed Ubuntu 13.10 in a VM with ovmf 0~20121205.edae8d2d-1, the install would complete. If I shutdown the vm and then upgrade ovmf to 0~20131029.2f34e065-1 and start the vm it runs. However, I get this traceback (apport-collected) if I run 'sudo grub-install --uefi-secure-boot': [ 439.293814] CPU: 0 PID: 2413 Comm: efibootmgr Not tainted 3.11.0-15-generic #23-Ubuntu [ 439.293817] task: ffff880020e79770 ti: ffff88001d3c2000 task.ti: ffff88001d3c2000 [ 439.293818] RIP: 0010:[<ffff88002e32d6be>] [<ffff88002e32d6be>] 0xffff88002e32d6bd [ 439.293822] RSP: 0018:ffff88001d3c3b00 EFLAGS: 00010002 [ 439.293823] RAX: 000000002ffd0048 RBX: ffffffffffffff83 RCX: 0000000000000000 [ 439.293825] RDX: 000000000000004e RSI: ffff88001d3c3e20 RDI: ffff88002fa47018 [ 439.293826] RBP: ffff88001d3c3c10 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: ffff88001d3c3e2f [ 439.293828] R10: 0000000000000064 R11: 0000000000000004 R12: 0000000000000000 [ 439.293829] R13: 0000000000000007 R14: 000000000000007c R15: ffffffff81fbe0c0 [ 439.293832] FS: 00007f1688fc1740(0000) GS:ffff88002be00000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 [ 439.293833] CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 [ 439.293835] CR2: 000000002ffd0058 CR3: 000000002254d000 CR4: 00000000000006f0 [ 439.293845] Stack: [ 439.293847] ffff88002fa53044 ffff88001d3c3e20 0000000000000010 ffffffff81092599 [ 439.293850] ffff8800290d8000 0000000700000000 000000000000007c ffff880028d30418 [ 439.293853] ffff88001d3c3e20 ffff880028d33000 ffff8800290d8000 ffff88001d3c3ba8 [ 439.293855] Call Trace: [ 439.293864] [<ffffffff81092599>] ? ttwu_do_wakeup+0x19/0xd0 [ 439.293868] [<ffffffff81094410>] ? try_to_wake_up+0x200/0x2b0 [ 439.293874] [<ffffffff8105ce2b>] ? efi_call5+0x4b/0x80 [ 439.293878] [<ffffffff8105c561>] ? virt_efi_set_variable+0x31/0x40 [ 439.293883] [<ffffffff815b4fee>] ? efivar_entry_set+0x11e/0x150 [ 439.293889] [<ffffffff8118dc98>] ? kmem_cache_alloc_trace+0x108/0x130 [ 439.293892] [<ffffffff815b6177>] ? efivar_create+0xd7/0x200 [ 439.293896] [<ffffffff8121b3e0>] ? write+0x100/0x180 [ 439.293901] [<ffffffff811a712d>] ? vfs_write+0xbd/0x1e0 [ 439.293904] [<ffffffff811a649b>] ? do_sys_open+0x1bb/0x270 [ 439.293907] [<ffffffff811a7b69>] ?

Choose Install Ubuntu, then automatic partitioning, with everything else defaults. By the time it gets to 'Running update-grub', the installer kernel oops with the attached screenshot (to get it, go to tty1 when grub starts installing, then it will eventually oops when update-grub is run). If I downgrade to ovmf that is in 13.10, the install completes without a traceback. Obviously, the kernel should not traceback, but clearly there is a problem with edk2 too, so I am filing the bug there.
