Bug Description
Yesterday I had to try installation of new Ubuntu 15.10 more than 5 times.
I have noticed methods that give me unbootable system on reboot after installation. It says it cannot detect UEFI partition even if it exist and is made during same installation time.
1. If I upgrade from 15.04 to 15.10 using Bootable CD, in half way saying it cannot detect UEFI partition
2. If I install using Something Else option during installation, it fails on reboot.
The only way for me to get bootable system was to erase whole hard drive and let it make all partition by itself

We would need the installation logs from such a failed attempt. You can find them in /var/log while still running the livecd.
