[Bug 1129524] Re: Precise & Quantal won't boot in UEFI

[Lou Hurst]

In 12.04, 12.10 and 13.04 editing to remove "quiet" from the boot
options then hitting F10 to continue boot, the screen immediately goes
black.  As I hit F10 the USB flash drive blinks once, then no further
activity.

In my BIOS I've tried this with Fast Boot Enabled and Disabled.

I've tried also gparted live, Linux Mint, Fedora, Knoppix, none will
boot in UEFI mode, all do the same as above, i.e. as soon as I choose
and option at the first option menu it goes to a black screen.

The machine will boot in UEFI with the recovery USB stick I made for the
original Win 8 install.

I do turn off Secure Boot when the system is set to UEFI.
