Dear maintainer,
I would like to tell you that I experienced precisely the same bug
when installing Wheezy x64 using uefi on a machine where windows 7 was
already installed.
My work around was to disable os-prober in grub by adding the line
GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true
at the end of /etc/default/grub then I created a custom entry for
windows 7 by adding
menuentry "Windows 7" --class windows --class os {
set root='(hd0,gpt3)'
chainloader (${root})/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi
}
to /etc/grub.d/40_custom and then updating grub by
update-grub.
Sorry I can't send system information right now because the machine is
not mine and I haven't access to it at the moment.
Hope this helps,
Thanks for your work.
