Ah no, I initially tried to install Squeeze on this laptop after I disabled UEFI mode, but since it wouldn't install GRUB or LILO I moved on installed Wheezy after filing this bug report for Squeeze, since the bootloader issue only seems to occur in Squeeze not in Wheezy.

Hi, It sounds like you have a problem with grub EFI booting, then. If you grab a more recent CD image, you should be able to boot in rescue mode to be able to see what's happened. efibootmgr should show all the possible EFI boot options, and if you could check what you have installed on in /boot/efi that would be very helpful.
