I have a lengthy work-around to install a work-able Ubuntu 14.04 on my laptop.

This is NOT a supposed fix to the bug, but this serve as a temp solution of all fellow users with the same issue.

WARNING: To follow my steps, you.d better have experience on custom partition configuration. If you don't know what I am talking about, forget it.

Steps:

1. install Ubuntu 14.04 i386 version with "Custom" installation option. Dedicate a primary partition to /boot.

2. install Ubuntu 14.04 amd64 version with "Custom" installation. Reuse the partition config for your i386 installation. DO NOT format the /boot folder.

3. After booting into your installation, open terminal and run the command "sudo apt-get -y update && sudo apt-get -y install grub-pc". This will remove grub-efi* for you.

4. If you missed the prompt to do configuration, run "sudo grub-install /dev/sda" (replace sda with your harddisk name)
