I ran 18 reboot experiments last night to try to fix the problem.

Dear Maintainer,
I have been trying to debug a problem with my Intel GPU. My Intel GPU
performs badly unless intel_idle.max_cstate=1 is set as a grub command
line option. However, several reboots later, I can prove that
OK, now we know the i915 driver, in my environment is NOT fixed with just
the microcode. I get GPU hangs whether the microcode is up-to-date or not.
This boot had NO kernel command line options (besides Debian defaults):

I rebooted with these grub config options:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet pcie_aspm=force intel_idle.max_cstate=1"
In addition to an almost immediate GPU hang, my r8169 driver Ethernet
card failed to load its firmware causing a full network outage.
I rebooted to see if it was a fluke, but no:

Although I had the GPU hang previously reported, the behavior wasn't too
bad after that early blowup. So I didn't

Dear Maintainer,
I am seeing the double chain loading of the old grub legacy which
successfully loads the modern grub.
Evidently, I forgot to run upgrade-from-grub-legacy on some systems
10 years ago. Or maybe it failed to work 10 years ago and
am planning to reboot soon to try another test, since daily GPU hangs
will slow my productivity unacceptibly. I need to keep debugging in the
hopes that I can find a solution.
