Package: grub-efi-amd64 Followup-For: Bug #720513 Dear Maintainer,
seems my problem somehow got solved, though i'm sure that i don't know why and how. yesterday i noticed that there are new grub-efi packages (2.00-18) so i installed them. before rebooting i checked `efibootmgr` and lo-and-behold! the "debian" entry was gone. i figured that this would make my system totally unbootable, so for the time being i was relying on suspend-to-ram and did not reboot. since the boot loader was broken anyhow, i tried downgrading to 2.00-14, but this didn't resurrect the "debian" EFI-entry either. i figure that this is a problem with EFI (and the kernel) rather than grub, something like the dreaded EFI out-of-memory problem that prevents adding new EFI entries. in any case, in `dmesg` i saw a couple of the following line: > efivars: set_variable() failed: status=-28 today i equipped myself with a 7.1.0 netinst CD and rebooted the system. not surprisingly, there was no trace of "debian" (nor "grub") entry, so i booted into the CD's rescue mode. in the chroot shell, i reinstalled the 2.00-18 (remember i recently downgraded to 2.00-14) version of the following packages: grub-common, grub-efi-amd64-bin, grub-efi-amd64, grub-efi, grub2-common running `efibootmgr` confirmed, that i had a "debian" entry again. rebooting the system finally gave me a working stage2 within grub, and i am able to normally boot my system again. if this was related to the 2.00-18 upgrade or not i cannot say, but in any case: thanks for your great work. mfgtre IOhannes -- Package-specific info: *********************** BEGIN /proc/mounts /dev/disk/by-uuid/dbbada09-2df9-423f-8628-2fa5cf8e5c8c / ext4 rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro,data=ordered 0 0 /dev/sda1 /boot/efi vfat rw,relatime,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=437,iocharset=utf8,shortname=mixed,errors=remount-ro 0 0 /dev/sda6 /home ext4 rw,relatime,data=ordered 0 0 *********************** END /proc/mounts *********************** BEGIN /boot/grub/grub.cfg # # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE # # It is automatically generated by grub-mkconfig using templates # from /etc/grub.d and settings from /etc/default/grub # ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/00_header ### if [ -s $prefix/grubenv ];
