Turns out it was something else entirely :) I've attached the bootinfoscript just in case there was something else interesting there.
I made the incorrect assumption that the manufacture date of 04/2014 stamped on the bottom might imply it would have a recent firmware installed. Nope! http://i.imgur.com/M5PTYFT.jpg [VisualBIOS before update] http://imgur.com/L3XzPXq [VisualBIOS update process] http://imgur.com/hhxTrxU [VisualBIOS after update] As you can see the installation is displayed just fine now and boots right up. Feeling a bit silly on my part now that it seems so obvious, but it might be worth updating https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI as an additional troubleshooting step. The NUC in question is model D54250WYKH I'm not sure if it is specific to the 2.5" SSD as I didn't have anything in the mSATA port to test. ** Attachment added: "bootinfoscript output" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1320694/+attachment/4116602/+files/nuc_uefi.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1320694 Title: [Intel NUC] Cannot boot new UEFI install with Encrypted LVM To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1320694/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
