      I am using an HP G1 800 SFF with add-in NIC.
      Last night I decided to update to 2.5.1... seemed like was taking a very long time to come back online so I went downstairs and plugged in a monitor and I got error no boot device. I thought maybe my SSD went corrupt... I installed a different HDD, installed 2.5.0 off USB, restored my config (I had backed up before doing upgrade) and was working again. I then did the update to 2.5.1 again and same thing - no boot device. I believe is UEIFI issue... didn't feel like troubleshooting since its now 2am at this point... a simple update that should have taken 5 min and wife needs internet first thing in morning for work. I will mess with it on weekend and see what I can come up with.

        @brians Same issue here:

        You can install 2.5.1 and import your config from 2.5.0, but a update should not mess with the boot device in the first place.
