Both the Ubuntu installer and grub-install react as if the installer is running in Legacy mode and not in (U)EFI mode. I think the focus should be concentrated there in order to squash this bug. Even when apt-get installing grub-x86_64-efi --reinstall from a chrooted system, including the necessary kernel option force.libata=noncq by hand, grub still won't boot. Hardware Used: Sony SVP132A1CM (a.k.a Vaio Pro 13), using manual partitioning. I have read http://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?id=1531751&p=1 (French) on installing Ubuntu 13.10 on a machine which is only marginally different from mine which wipes the Windows 8 installation along with the support partitions. I want to install it alongside Windows so I could not follow all the instructions there.
