Public bug reported:
Similar to bug 1642298, bug 1750732 and bug 1788539
This issue was only spotted on ThunderX Cavium ARM64 system in this SRU cycle.
It works fine with ARM64 moonshot, and other X86 systems.
(I will check on that AMD Naples later)
Steps:
1. Deploy the ThunderX system with Trusty + X-HWE kernel
2. Check the efibootmgr output
3. Enable proposed, install grub-common
4. Check efibootmgr again
Result:
In step 2, the boot order is correct:
ubuntu@wright-kernel:~$ sudo efibootmgr
BootCurrent: 0002
Timeout: 10 seconds
BootOrder: 0002,0000,0003,0004,0001
Boot0000* ubuntu
Boot0001 UEFI: Built-in EFI Shell
Boot0002* UEFI: IP4 Ethernet vNIC Controller 62:54:CA
Boot0003* UEFI: IP4 Ethernet vNIC Controller 62:54:CB
Boot0004* UEFI: IP4 Ethernet vNIC Controller 62:54:CC
But in step 4, the boot order will be overridden:
ubuntu@wright-kernel:~$ sudo efibootmgr
BootCurrent: 0002
Timeout: 10 seconds
BootOrder: 0000,0002,0003,0004,0001
Boot0000* ubuntu
