Public bug reported: Every time grub is updating it removes an already existing efi boot entry and tries to create a new one. In my case it fails to make new entry with an error: grub-install: error: efibootmgr failed to register the boot entry: Input/output error.
Due to this failure, system becomes unbootable since there is no boot entry in efivar. I have to then manually boot system with efi_no_storage_paranoia kernel parameter in order for grub to successfully install. There is already patch available for the main grub repository to fix grub-install to not re-create efi boot entry if one already exists. The patch can be found here: https://salsa.debian.org/grub-team/grub/commit/c3ab38fcac862d07eceefe3c56fa22b140f37410 Link to the issue it fixes: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=891434 ** Affects: grub2 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: - Every time grub is updating it removes an already existing efi boot entry and tries to create a new one.
