3) Installing grub-efi from an already installed Ubuntu32 creates /efi/ubuntu/boot.efi , and /efi/ubuntu/grubia32.efi . Both EFI entries fail. And how exactly was that done? 32bit installer does not create UEFI partition to correctly place efi bootloader image. Thus to test this one has to do

I have the same problem as Marcus in #15. My HP Envy X2 is 32 bit UEFI only. I can't even boot the LiveCD, even using rEFInd or 32 bit GRUB2 compiled with EFI support. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu.

There's nothing we can do about this in GRUB. 64-bit UEFI systems require a 64-bit OS. Ubiquity possibly ought to warn about this; except that in order to get as far as Ubiquity you must have either explicitly or implicitly switched the firmware into BIOS compatibility mode, which means that it

A main and serious problem is that there are pc's/notebooks with recent CPUs which are 32 bit which cannot be run in legacy mode, so they only support EFI. An example of that is the ACER W510 mentioned before. I cannot believe that is the only one and more will likely appear in the (near) future.

According to #13, we cannot mark this bug Invalid for GRUB. For information, other computers use the same 32-bit CPU (Atom Z2760) as the ACER W510: Samsung Smart PC, Asus VivoTab Smart, HP Envy x2, Lenovo Lynx... Concerning #12, booting the Ubuntu CD/USB in Legacy mode does not imply that the
