Bug Description
Ubuntu Cosmic Desktop 20181005
Test Case:
1. Boot in BIOS mode and install on entire disk
=> Verify that the system boots
2. Boot in UEFI and perform a new installation alongside previous one
=> Verify that you can boot to the new system
Actual result
It fails immediately on boot with a message from the uefi firmware (its very brief because the system reboots immediately in a loop):
"""""
System BootOrder not found. Initializing defaults.
Creating boot entry "Boot0011" with label "Ubuntu" for file "\EFI\ubuntu\
Reset System
"""""
The BIOS installation boots fine if I switch back to BIOS mode.
An UEFI installation on entire disk boots fine.
Log files of the UEFI installation attached.
The EFI partition is created and its content is:
.
./EFI
./EFI/ubuntu
./EFI/ubuntu/
./EFI/ubuntu/
./EFI/ubuntu/
./EFI/ubuntu/
./EFI/ubuntu/
./EFI/BOOT
./EFI/BOOT/
./EFI/BOOT/

Is this running on real hardware or in a virtual machine? If it's on metal, what kind of hardware?
