Regarding manual partitioning on EFI systems
I recently installed 13.04 final beta(Gnome version) on my Efi enabled desktop. I selected manual partitioning option during installation. This being my first installation of an OS supporting Efi, I was not aware of the requirement of a separate EFI partition. The installer proceeded with the installation without indicating that there was any problem and the installation was otherwise correctly done except the Efi part. I discovered this problem only after when the system refused to boot. I then re-installed the whole system again after creating the EFI partition(I was not sure chroot would work). I am proposing that a warning system be included in the installer, which will warn users if the EFI partition is absent during installation.
