Hi,

It sounds like you have a problem with grub EFI booting, then. If you
grab a more recent CD image, you should be able to boot in rescue mode
to be able to see what's happened. efibootmgr should show all the
possible EFI boot options, and if you could check what you have
installed on in /boot/efi that would be very helpful.

Thanks,
