I'm fairly certain this is a pure EFI issue. Pulling out the old disk, the disk shows up in the UFEI boot menu, but when booting from it, I get a message saying there is no disk to boot from.

Somewhere under /boot/efi, there must be info on which disk/kernel to boot, but it is probably in a binary format.
