2014-04-04 08:52:11 Jean-Baptiste Lallement description During a side-by-side installation, the EFI partition is not created. If it doesn't already exist, installation fails at grub stage. TEST CASE: 1. Install trusty in BIOS mode 2. Reboot 3. Reuse the same disk and Install trusty in UEFI mode for example start qemu with the option -pflash=/tmp/ovmf.bin and the binary file attached to this bug report. 4. Proceed to the partitioner and select a side-by-side installation 5. Proceed with the rest of the installation ACTUAL RESULT: This crash EXPECTED RESULT: There are several ways to address this issue, I see 2 options there are probably more: 1. Warn the user and refuse to proceed past the partitioner 2. Create an EFI partition like the entire disk installation does.
