I did this a couple of times now and manage to reproduce the issue every time. After a clean installation of 12.10 on an EFI system with the following layout
/dev/sdc using GPT layout
1.) 256MB EFI partition
2.) 256MB ext4 /boot partition
3.) Large ext5 / partition
4.) 8GB swap partition
With the boot loader installed on the /boot partition everything is working as it should after a clean installation of 12.10. However as soon as I run the software update the system no longer boots. The ubuntu option is still available in the UEFI menu, however selecting this option does not result in ubuntu being loaded.
After the updated I am being prompted to reboot my system. Is there a step I am missing which I need to complete before rebooting to prevent this from occuring ? What are my options of restoring my system. I did a clean install now several times to verify this issue is caused by the update.
