Bug#708430: Problem even worse on Toshiba Satellite C55-A-1ND

[Sander Marechal]

Hi,

The problem is even worse on my brand new Toshiba Satellite C55-A-1ND. 
The BIOS doesn't even probe the fallback location in 
/EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi. Instead this system always boots the Windows 8 
bootloader at /EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi. In order to get Grub to 
work I had to copy grubx64.efi over bootmgfw.efi and hack the 
30_os-prober script so that it would chainload a backup copy of the 
original MS bootmgfw.efi that I made.

I really hope that the installer will learn to recognise these instances 
and fix them.

Perhaps simply an additional option on the installer CD? Something like 
"Fix EFI boot location"? That could copy the grubx64.efi to the EFI/Boot 
and maybe even EFI/Microsoft/Boot and also set a trigger so that 
whenever grub is updated, those two locations get updated as well?
