Title:
  UEFI boot needs Experimental branch of Grub

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: grub2

  As discussed here, when booting with grub-efi-amd64, the system fails
  to find the initramfs image:

  http://www.mail-archive.com/bug-grub@gnu.org/msg12623.html

  It looks like the "experimental" branch of Grub makes this booting
  work, at least to where it sees the initramfs image.  Unfortunately,
  since I had to install (mkimage) Grub manually, it broke in other ways
  that don't happen with the packaged Grub.

  Note that my system is an HP EliteBook 8530w.

  Also relevant:

  support

  More specifically, I've heard that what I may need is the "newreloc"
  work.
