And what is the correct solution? You need to mount the EFI partition to /boot/efi in the installation system. As the manual says in "Preparing for Installation" (perhaps not clearly enough): If you instead wish to use EFI-based GRUB, a FAT32 “EFI System Partition” (ESP) is required. This partition should be mounted at ‘/boot/efi’ and must have the ‘esp’ flag set. Andy
