[Bug 784551] Re: installer lies about success installing grub2 on efi

[Alejandro Mery]

It was the normal desktop CD and the alternate cd. The laptop was
partitioned in efi mode and the installer said in both cases grub had
installed successfully, which wasn't true. Installer worked out-of-the-
box when /boot/efi was previously mounted.

Title:
  installer lies about success installing grub2 on efi

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: grub2

  installing natty on an efi system nothing suggests grub-install needs
  the efi partition mounted as /boot/efi and nothing suggests either the
  user it failed until one reboots and ubuntu does not boot.

  the magic behind /boot/efi isn't documented anywhere either leading to
  huge frustration to users.
