Bug#926178: grub2 efi boot installs grub.cfg file that seems to be ignored (just stays at prompt)
I don't know how I initially got there, but I kept the old version's .deb archived around when I first encountered the issue, and installed them with dpkg -i afterwards. And whether shim-signed is installed or not makes no difference, it just affects the defaults grub is using. I always have to make sure "--no-uefi-secure-boot" is used (which is implicitly set if shim-signed is not installed AFAIK). Am Mo., 10.

I'm curious how you got here. Did you install with Recommends disabled? There's a Recommends: chain from grub-efi-amd64-bin to grub-efi-amd64-signed to shim-signed which should cause shim-signed to be installed. Does installing shim-signed fix your problem? -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK.st...@einval.com You raise the blade, you make the change... You re-arrange me 'til I'm sane...

I got newer versions to work by adding the "--no-uefi-secure-boot" switch, so apparently uefi-secure-boot is not working for me. older versions might have defaulted to not using it, or I did not have the shim packages installed.
Bug#926178: grub2 efi boot installs grub.cfg file that seems to be ignored (just stays at prompt)
Package: grub2 Version: 2.02+dfsg1-16 Severity: important Hello, setting up some new systems I ran into the issue that newer versions of grub-install will place multiple files into /boot/efi/EFI. One among them is 'grub.cfg' which tried to set 'root' by searching for the UUID, then loading the real boot/grub/grub.cfg. It appears to me, that is file is never used, as grub just drops to the prompt without any notification. The older version 2.02+dfsg1-4 is installing a single file, and boots correctly. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers testing-debug APT policy: (500, 'testing-debug'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.19.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_WARN Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages grub2 depends on: ii grub-common 2.02+dfsg1-16 pn grub-pc grub2 recommends no packages. grub2 suggests no packages.
