This thread that I started is now somewhat out of date.I have already posted a modified transcript of Nehal J Wani's youtube video, including some notes/observations of my own, for installation of a win8.1/LL2.4 UEFI dual-boot on an Asus G750JS laptop under the 'Tutorials' section on this forum.
As mentioned in the Tutorial notes, disabling fast boot does indeed appear to avoid the problem of LL 'hanging' at shutdown, and I tried this in response to some of your suggestions in this forum - many thanks for this.
Disabling fast boot doesn't appear to significantly alter boot-up times on my system, which operates very rapidly anyway with two SSD drives installed (sda = win8.1 and LL2.4 OSes; sdb=shared data drive, including VMs). The advantage that comes with UEFI enabled is that my laptop appears to run much more snappily than in Legacy/BIOS, including boot-up/shutdown times and the graphics are greatly improved. So I would give a hearty thumbs-up for any UEFI support being integrated into future releases of LL.
I've bought a gaming laptop (has both UEFI & Legacy boot), an Asus G750JS, but am having problems installing LL2.4 properly in legacy boot, with either MBR or GPT partition table set-up. Though the install runs smoothly, on reboot the laptop does not recognize the 250GB SSD (sda) on which the \ partition is installed. Within the settings, the Boot order only lists the second 1TB SSD drive (sdb), where my \home & swap are installed, but not the 250GB SSD.
