Bug Description
The error was detected in the upgrade to 14.04.
Found in 2 HP PCs with identical hardware.
One of them has this problem after a fresh install of 14.04.
They have UEFI. Only one disk.
Although the error message is similar, none of the methods described in the existing bugs fixes the problem:
- Boot Repair
- dpkg-reconfigure grub-efi-amd64
We can avoid this message using the BIOS boot menu.
The option "ubuntu" is present, and after choosing it, there is a functional Grub.
From there, everything works OK.

I am not sure this is a duplicate. Probably has the same cause.
Commenting on this issue makes it clearer.
I can boot and use the system, but the problem persists, although it is a minor annoyance.
The 14.04 upgrade did not update several EFI entries in the Windows boot menu.
Selecting them in the bios menus brings out the broken grub.

If I do:
$ sudo efibootmgr -n 1
The next boot works OK.
dpkg-reconfigure grub-efi is not working as expected.
