Title:
  kernel does not boot without noefi on commandline

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in “linux” source package in Quantal:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  The machine is an ASUS Laptop N53SN.
  In BIOS mode, everything works ok, but in UEFI, the kernel does not boot.

  The only way to boot it is to provide the noefi option on the cmdline.
  This machine never booted with any ubuntu distribution in efi.

  Direct boot with linux-efi kernel image, show the same behaviour.

  The only distribution that boots in UEFI is the alpha version of
  Fedora 18.
