With the following setup I get a blinking cursor after installation:

Windows 7 64bit installed in first SSD (not UEFI, using MBR) Installation of Ubuntu 12.04 64Bit on gpt partioned disk seems to work without problems but does not boot. It stops with a blinking cursor.

Partitioning scheme:
    sdb1 efi boot partition fat32
    sdb2 root btrfs
    sdb3 home btrfs
    sdb4 swap

Is it possible to mix uefi BIOS with MBR and gpt when using two separate SSDs? I tried grub2 into a MBR as well but it would not install there...
