Hi,

Finally got to update my BIOS per comment 50 & 51.

I am not able to boot the machine in EFI with any flavor of Ubuntu back
to 12.04, up to and including yesterday's (9/6/2013) build of Saucy.

With BIOS set to Legacy I AM able to boot the machine into any flavor of
Ubuntu up to and including yesterday's (9/6/2013) build of Saucy.

Thanks and sorry for the delay.
