Public bug reported:
My initial circumstance is that I was upgrading a perfectly-functioning
dual booting (Windows 7 & Ubuntu 11.04) machine.
The 11.04 install that I did in 2011 went without a hitch and safely
detected that I was UEFI and installed accordingly. When I tried to
upgrade this installation, 12.04 - for some reason - decided that I
shouldn't be able to boot both my Windows and my Ubuntu systems!
Frustrated - but ever diligent - I reinstalled Windows 7 (in UEFI mode)
and Ubuntu 12.04 fresh.
Windows 7? No problem. Installed, was done as UEFI and I was off to
the races there.
Ubuntu 12.04? Forget it. It seemed to think that torching my GPT+UEFI
boot partition would be a great idea and reinstalling it with some kind
of MBR+GPT grub tool would be a better idea.
Great. So now I have been forced to downgrade to MBR booting and I've
completely lost access to my Windows 7 install.
This is an enormous regression and if it can be solved is not even made
slightly apparent through the Ubuntu 12.04 installation interface.
Get your act together guys, my support for your project hangs by a
thread at this point. I'm sick of the regressions and sloppy
triage/testing/QA!
