Public bug reported: A standard installation of ubuntu-desktop on a HP Compaq 6200 PC installs grub-efi and is not able to boot after first restart.
Grub complains about "no such partition". It is not able to load its own modules to continue with the boot process. After booting into a rescue system and manually replacing the grub-efi package with grub-pc and re-installing grub to the MBR the computer boots fine. Why is grub-efi installed automatically?
