Hello,
I've upgraded to jessie, strictly following the upgrade instructions.  
The apt-get did all the work (and the only interruption during the 
procedure having had to do with uninstalling nvidia mon-free drivers).

My situation regarding _booting_ is almost the same as before, the only 
difference being of purely aesthetic value: the new debian, with new 8.0 
background graphics in grub (this stage is still accessible only after 
<F12> had been pressed upon power-on, and the item 'debian' selected).

In order to keep the playground clear, I haven't yet tried to do 
anything by hand, neither efibootmgr stuff, nor grub-install stuff.

Please tell me if I should try again the same commands and captures as 
before, or tell me what else I can do to help find out what's going on.

I have kept the script recordings made during upgrade; I'll upload the 
files if there's any need to it.

Regards,
  Darki

Hit "Process" and get a coffee. Depending on the number of files [...] 
to process this might take a long time, so one coffee might not be 
enough. In this case, get a sixpack beer instead.
