How to debug grub2-efi -> kernel transition issues?

2021-03-29 Thread Richard W.M. Jones
I have a weird problem on an old Asus Zenbook UX305C where new kernels cannot be installed by grub. Specifically what happens is they appear in the boot menu fine, but if you try to boot them then the machine hangs hard with a completely black screen. Oddly the kernel installed by Anaconda can
