Package: grub-efi-amd64-bin
Version: 2.06-13
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: snguyenster at gmail.com
Dear Maintainer,
I am not sure if this bug is already fixed by a newer version than 2.06-13 but it does not seems to be reported (though a similar one exists) at the moment. Plus I am running debian-stable and have no intention to move to testing or unstable, so I hope for a backport or security patch.
The problem is the following:
After installing a large amount of apt packages I realized that my menu entry for UEFI-firmware disappeared from grub boot menu though 30_uefi-firmware is still present.
update-grub will not resolve the problem.
If the entry is added by editing /boot/grub/grub.cfg the next time update-grub is executed the menu entry is removed.
30_uefi-firmware seems to be ok and contains:
#! /bin/sh
set -e
# grub-mkconfig helper script.
