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.
