[Bug 1193190] [NEW] grub-efi-amd64 can not load initrd or kernel after reboot

[Steve Kieu]

Public bug reported:

>From the current running Ubuntu 13 if I reboot the machine - when it
enter the boot menu prompt, hit enter and it waits there forever.

If  set it to be more verbose I saw grub stopping at message Loading
initrd  and hang there.

The boot partition is ext2. I recently change it to ext3 without any
effect.  To make it bootable again just use the DVD or any other Ubuntu
13 bootable media (USB works) - just boot the system in live (so the
whole system is in RAM) / or load the real on disk system mode (even do
not need to touch anything about the hard disk.  fsck shows that the
boot partition in deed is clean. Reboot that and then this time grub can
get through.

This is 100% reproducible and work around (Just boot the live CD and
then reboot from the live cd - )
