As I said before, without copying the grubx64.efi file to the fallback
path, I'm left with a grub prompt (the most primitive). And I have not
done any strange settings in the "BIOS", except disabling secure boot.

I disagree that it's grave. It's not broken for everybody. You copied
the binary to the fallback path to cope with non-compliant firmware,
your proposed solution is certainly not the right way, and even if it
sounds harsh you cannot expect this solution to last during upgrades,
unless you add a hook to, say, /etc/grub.d.

What does efibootmgr -v say?

I wonder if the HD needs more qualification through the ACPI/PCI path 
information. But I'm unsure if efibootmgr can actually set that... 
(Assuming that you didn't do a manual pick at boot and it just skipped 
0001, which is likely what happened here.)


Kind regards

I disagree that it's grave. It's not broken for everybody. You copied
the binary to the fallback path to cope with non-compliant firmware,
your proposed solution is certainly not the right way, and even if it
sounds harsh you cannot expect this solution to last during upgrades,
unless you add a hook to, say, /etc/grub.d.

What does efibootmgr -v say?

Kind regards

found 708430 2.00-17
thanks

Since this bug report in not closed, I assume the problems remains. (I
have not installed -17 yet, due to the hassle to get a bootable
computer again)
