Package: grub-common
Version: 2.02+dfsg1-6
Severity: important
Tags: d-i
Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
updating grub-common from stretch to buster
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
sudo apt upgrade (after adding buster to apt sources and
setting buster as default release)
* What was the outcome of this action?
After a reboot the system did not boot from ssd at all
* What outcome did you expect instead?
A system that's able to reboot
- System was on legacy boot before upgrading
- Upgrading installs grub-efi-amd64, setting boot to EFI
- grub-efi-amd64 fails because it tries to write to NVRAM / EFI partition
- there will only be a small error message "system may be unbootable"
- After reboot, it's not possible to boot
Repair needed:
- Boot from rescue medium
- reinstall grub-efi-amd64
- disable NVRAM access
- disable extended EFI partition write
- Bootloader should report successful install
- Manually set BIOS settings so UEFI boot is enabled
OR
- Boot from rescue medium
- Get working network setup
- reinstall grub-pc
- BIOS must be set to legacy boot
Proposals for solution by package:
- do not use problematic settings (NVRAM, EFI extended) or disable them when errors occur
- Make any warnings BIG and FAT and show them at end of installation
- If UEFI installation fails, fall back to legacy (grub-pc)
- Additional warning when switch from legacy to UEFI or vice versa
Bye
Michael
