Therefore you need to use efibootmgr to add/edit/remove those entries. I have to delete Windows boot entry `efibootmgr` without parameters shows UEFI boot entries like Boot* Windows Boot0001* Debian1 and then delete Windows boot entry `efibootmgr -B -b Boot` after that Debian booted just fine. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

If so, how can I help ? For the archives: it's grub-efi and grub-efi-amd64 (not -uefi). As Andrei pointed out, you might want to ask on debian-boot. I'd add that you might want to ask whether they could use the Ubuntu grub-installer patch that detects BIOS/UEFI and installs the appropriate grub. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
