[Bug 1411017] Re: No bootable image was found.

[Martin Konopka]

I changed the bug status to Confirmed. Here is partial description in my
case:

computer:  HP ZBook 15

Couple of day ago I had a dual-booting configuration: Ubuntu 15.04 MATE + Windows 7 . Both 64 bit.
I decided to replace Ubuntu 15.04 MATE  by Ubuntu 15.10 MATE. I did a clean new installation of the ubuntu. The new ubuntu was booting fine but I was not able to boot Windows.

Then I decided to try to live without Windows, i.e. to install ubuntu on
the whole disk, removing Windows. I did so. The new installation of
ubuntu-mate 15.10  (the image dated to 3rd October) does not boot
automatically. The only way to boot it is to enter an initial boot menu
(ECS key, then F9 key, then choose EFI file, then ubuntu etc).

I did the installation of the ubuntu in UEFI Hybrid mode ("With CSM").

Interestingly, during the complicated boot procedure described above I
can also see a string "microsoft" below "ubuntu", although I deleted my
Windows 7 installation.

While performing ubuntu installation, I chosen disk partitioning as
follows.

1 MB free space (forced by the installer)
/dev/sda1  with  /boot/efi
/dev/sda2  mounted on /
swap  mounted on /dev/sda3
again 1 MB free space (forced by the installer)

I created primary partitions only, not logical ones. I did dot use LVM.
I did not use the automatic partitioning because I prefer bigger swap space than would be the one alocated in the default way.

Title:
  No bootable image was found.

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Just bought a new laptop (HP ZBook 14) with Windows pre-installed with
  UEFI. I wanted to remove Windows and clean install Xubuntu,
  unfortunately I get the following error message after the
  installation: "No bootable image was found." My ZBook 14 has a mSATA
  SSD 128GB and a HDD 500GB. I tried to switch the boot order in UEFI
  and I even tried to install Xubuntu without my HDD. Unfortunately
  nothing solved the problem. There is one thing to note though, I can
  select ubuntu in the boot options and Xubuntu will boot correctly. So
  if I am not accessing the boot options, I will get the error message
  "No bootable image was found."

  JordanU tried to help me and suggested me to use bootinfoscript
  (http://pastebin.com/XeWxJkDs). I also did the following in terminal
  "sudo efibootmgr" (http://pastebin.com/AzT24J5X).
