Package: grub-efi-amd64
Version: 2.06-13
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
Dear Maintainer,
My old laptop (Lenovo 11e) runs Sid and all was right before I updated
it the other day (I don't do that very often). After that upgrade, GRUB
wasn't able to load any kernel with the pretty much generic error
"Error: can't load image". The version of GRUB was 2.12~rc1-12.
If I try to boot again, GRUB tells me that I need to load the image
first (I guess it somehow ignores the linux command and sends that when
trying to load the initrd).
I tried to reinstall grub, grub-install /dev/sda, update-grub, reinstall
the kernel, update-initramfs from the rescue mode but nothing worked.
The "file" command was able to read the vmlinuz file and none seemed
truncated. The system has one partition with both / and /boot and isn't
running out of space.
I did not see any error message during those operation besides GRUB
saying it wasn't able to update EFI parameters.
I don't know if there is a way to get more logs or error message during
the boot explaining why it wasn't able to load the image.
I tried to get the last version of GRUB from Bookworm, that is
2.06-13, and now I'm able to boot. The kernel version did not change,
the only change I did is to downgrade GRUB (and dependencies apt was
asking for).
I'm not sure which GRUB package I should use for reporting so I took the
one that seems the most specific to my system. Apologies if it is not
correct.
Let me know if you need more info.
Thanks,
