Package: grub-efi-amd64
Version: 2.06-5
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: chris21k at gmx.de
Dear Maintainer,
I am running debian testing/bookworm. After the updates from grub 2.06-4 to
grub 2.06-5 (about November 18th) in the grub boot menu the box border
characters are not shown as they should. Insteadn one sees only a boxed
question mark for each character. Further, an error message is shown as text
for a fraction of a second directly before the boot menu arsises:
"error: prohibited by secure boot policy."
I believe this is new in 2.06-5.
When I disable secure boot with the mainboard firmware, the characters/boot
menu shows
up correctly.
I can trigger this in my kvm virtualized installtion and on my bare metal
machine with an ASUS H170 Gaming main board (and latest firmware).
Best,
Chris
