Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v3.13 kernel[0].
If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'. If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'. If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'. Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed". Thanks in advance.

Choose Install Ubuntu, then automatic partitioning, with everything else defaults. By the time it gets to 'Running update-grub', the installer kernel oops with the attached screenshot (to get it, go to tty1 when grub starts installing, then it will eventually oops when update-grub is run). If I downgrade to ovmf that is in 13.10, the install completes without a traceback. Obviously, the kernel should not traceback, but clearly there is a problem with edk2 too, so I am filing the bug there.
