Re: Install report with UEFI Debian CD on HP elitebook 840 G1

After the install, the computer booted to windows.
Using the bios bootmenu (F9) the default option is "OS Boot Manager"
that boots windows.
But "debian" is present in the menu at the last position and selecting
it successfully boot debian.
In the bios setup (F10), in the boot option menu, I can change the
order of the boot options but there is no "debian" present in the list
: only "OS Boot Manager", a lot of hardware boot option like "USD Hard
Drive" or "SD Card", the last option is "Customized Boot".
So I just moved "Customized Boot" to the first place and give it the
value recommended by
https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/HP/EliteBook%20840%20G1

I tried first a daily USB image from
http://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/amd64/daily/
But:
* I had to use "UEFI Hybrid (With CSM)" (instead of "UEFI Boot only
(Without CSM)") so that the bios can see the USB key
* The install was successful but it seems that the grub install
silently failed since, after the reboot, there was no "debian" (or any
new option) in the boot menu
* I retried the USB key in rescue mode, so I can force-install grub
manually but it failed (I do not remember the error message) and the
grub-efi version did not work either because no EFI (no
/sys/firmware/efi/ ). It is possible that the bios option "UEFI Hybrid
(With CSM)" hides the EFI to the installer
* Seeing that the installer did not like the EFI, I remembered
http://blog.einval.com/2015/01/11#Jessie-EFI_5 and just tried the
proposed image
* I reseted the bios to "UEFI Boot only (Without CSM)" and the bios
showed the new USB key, so could retry the install.
