[Bug 733836] Re: "Error: file not found" when booting, then boots up anyway
I have exact same problem after installing 16.04 using this procedure https://gist.github.com/umpirsky/6ee1f870e759815333c8 I guess this line: grub-install --boot-directory=/boot --bootloader-id=Ubuntu --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --recheck is critical. If anyone has idea how to fix it, that would be highly appreciated.

[Bug 733836] Re: Error: file not found when booting, then boots up anyway
I had the same problem after upgrading from 12.10 to 13.04 dev. Eventually solved it by manually re-running `grub-install' with the right arguments for my disk. I also noticed that before running this command, my /boot/grub/-directory was littered with files and afterwards, only a few remained. Seems like it cleaned up crud from previous installs of Grub and then re-copied and generated the essentials.
