Package: grub2-common
Version: 2.02+dfsg1-20+deb10u4
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
Upgrading to grub 2.02+dfsg1-20+deb10u4 caused grub-install
--target=x86_64-efi to be executed. It failed (as expected) so I ran
grub-install --bootloader-id=debian1buster
--efi-directory=/boot/efi1 /dev/sda
grub-install --bootloader-id=debian2buster
--efi-directory=/boot/efi2 /dev/sdb
because I'm running two drives under software RAID1 and I wanted boot
redundancy. In order to get there I have two entries in the EFI as
(sda1)/boot/efi1/EFI/debian1buster and
(sdb1)/boot/efi2/EFI/debian2buster giving efibootmgr -v of
Boot* debian1buster
HD(1,GPT,----,0x800,0x10)/File(\EFI\debian1buster\shimx64.efi)
Boot0002* debian2buster
HD(1,GPT,----,0x800,0x10)/File(\EFI\debian2buster\shimx64.efi)
Where sda2/sdb2 are the RAID1 set.
Upon boot I'd get 'grub>'.
Entering 'set' (under 'grub>') showed 'prefix' as '/EFI/debian'.
Running grep -l '/EFI/debian' /boot/efi1/EFI/debian1buster/*
returned 'grubx64.efi'.
Leading me to believe that grub-install is not honoring the
--bootloader-id parameter when grubx64.efi is built.
My temporary solution was to copy
/boot/efi1/EFI/debian1buster to /boot/efi1/EFI/debian
and
/boot/efi2/EFI/debian2buster to /boot/efi2/EFI/debian
and now the system will boot properly.
Without knowing the particulars of Grub, it was a little surprising
that grub-install sets prefix in the first place; before it read
the grub.cfg file in current directory (/boot/efi1/EFI/debian1buster/).
I wonder if BOOTX64.CSV should be effected to prevent both of
the efi1/efi2 entries to be "shimx64.efi,debian,,This is the boot entry
for debian"; such that the ',debian,' should be the --bootloader-id
value as well.
I also wish that my 'debian1buster' entry would stop getting deleted
from EFI. I haven't figured out who to blame yet.
