Bug#703469: HP EliteBook 8570p UEFI install works, with some effort

The Installer seemed to think that GRUB succeeded: grub-installer: info: grub-install ran successfully. But rebooting fails to find boot code, gives HP screen: BootDevice Not Found Please install an operating system on your hard disk. etc. Rebooting the USB stick to rescue mode, I umount the /boot and /boot/efi partitions--because mount thinks they're mounted--before I truly mount them.

So mkdir /boot/efi/EFI/boot and cp -p /boot/efi/EFI/debian/grubx64.efi /boot/efi/EFI/boot/bootx64.efi (Thanks to http://tanguy.ortolo.eu/blog/article51/debian-efi.) and reboot. That boots to the GRUB menu, followed by: Booting 'Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 error: file not found. error: file not found. Loading Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 ... Loading initial ramdisk ...

Rebooting to USB stick rescue mode again, dpkg-reconfigure grub-efi-amd64 which now decides to add insmod efi_gop and insmod efi_uga to /boot/grub/grub.cfg. Why didn't it do it when I installed the package?

This is bug #703363 and should be fixed in rc2. Still, efivars will fail to initialise if you didn't boot in EFI mode.
