Well, I guess my bios setup is very wrong then. I have exactly the same 
behavior with an easy2boot stick and reEFInd. I guess my only option 
left is to backup my data, restaure factory settings and hope for the 
best.
As I don't know where to look to find some logs for this behavior debug 
will not be easy...

I'll keep this topic up to date as soon as I have news. Thanks alot for 
these tips
