I tried installing 15.10 on my ssd which is /dev/sdb (unfortunatly),

  • format/set a new gpt partition table to /dev/sda and /dev/sdb and let the installer do its job
  • setup the partitions myself where i used /dev/sdb1 with 530MB as a EFI boot partition, left /dev/sda unformated and installed the root on /dev/sdb2, selected /dev/sdb in the drop down menue for bootloader installation (tried selecting /dev/sdb1 didnt work either)
  • tried creating new partitiontables for ssd and hdd then tried installing it on /dev/sda with letting the installer do the partitions..

sadly, none of these things worked.. only thing which might work is throw out the /dev/sda ..

i tried boot-repair but it tried installing an mbr on a gpt partitioned table? it didnt work anyway so..

the result is always the same: loops back to a (bios-provided)-menue for selecting a boot device.

any ideas..? boot-repair report http://paste.ubuntu.com/15686832/ (the machine is a thinkpad x220)

similar but didnt work (as i tried it) Fresh install of Ubuntu doesnt boot, UEFI. boot-repair doesn't help

The Answer is given by oldfred, thank you so much. It`s the third link you posted, which i looked at first.

Renaming your .efi files worked.

But why doesnt grub or boot-repair do that correctly? sigh..

anyway it works, thanks!

Can not boot anymore after a boot repair
