I have heard that for EFI systems shim is used. Chroot-ing and installing shim should fix it. I also have a solution for the GPT situation. Creating a new image for 32-bit EFI systems could fix the problem (separating BIOS images from UEFI images). ** Changed in: grub2 (Ubuntu) Status:

I have a legitimate issue with this as well. I just bought a Dell Latitude 10 with the intended purpose of trying out ubuntu's more touch friendly features on my new atom 32bit processor. As all dells now come with EFI instead of BIOS i'm suck until the 32bit Grub is adapted to support EFI. I
