Both default and fallback installers not working when EFI is on. No options from grub list boot - get "can not read cd0/files" and "You need to load the kernel first" errors. Have asked this http://askubuntu.com/q/208405/102029 question and tried to list some observations at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2149013. After installing using the workaround of switching EFI off and then creating grub_bios partition to allow installtion bios mode. Then installing of grub-efi needs other modification to existing boot loader for Ubuntu to boot. This is due to firmware hardcoding by vendors. Boot-Repair fixes things to get going but through time system deteriorates and becomes unrecoverable or bootable due to mountall errors.
