Joseph Salisbury: When I hold the SHIFT key down after power on, I do
not see any BIOS information.

Before installing 14.04, the computer BIOS was in legacy mode.  At that
time, holding SHIFT down while booting did show BIOS information.

When my initial attempts at installing 14.04 failed, I was advised by
Phillip Susi (psusi) in the context of Bug #1302362 to try EFI mode.  I
disabled legacy mode, and was then successful in installing 14.04.
However, after switching to EFI mode, I no longer get any BIOS
information when I hold the SHIFT key down during boot.

Title:
  GRUB boot menu does not appear

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When (re)booting, the GRUB boot menu does not appear.  Instead, a
  black rectangle - where the boot menu should otherwise appear - is
  displayed.

  A picture is attached herewith.  It shows the said black rectangle.
  Please excuse the glossy screen, and the consequent poor visibility.
  The black rectangle is clearly visible in the left-bottom corner of
  the first picture.

  The absence of a boot menu makes it virtually impossible for me to try
  any other kernel, pass boot options, etc.
