I have install F19 on a system with Windows 8/8.1 installed.  The 
install process created the grub menu entry, however, I cannot boot 
Windows 8.1 from the grub menu.  I get the following:

/EndEntire
file path: 
/ACPI(...)/PCI(2,1f)/UnknownMessaging(12)/HD(1,800,...)/File(\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\)/File(bootmgfw.efi)/Endntire

error: cannot load image
error: you need to load kernel first

Press any key to continue ...

The "Press any key to continue" message must be a joke, because a few 
seconds after I get these messages the system reboots.  I had to try to 
boot Windows several times to get enough of the first message.  The 
"..." in the file path message indicates that there is stuff there but I 
couldn't get it written down do to the system rebooting after about 10 
seconds.

The only way I can boot to Windows is to keep hitting F12 until I get 
the boot order menu, and select Windows from there.
