Package: grub-efi Severity: important Tags: d-i X-Debbugs-Cc: m...@emdete.de
(system information below doesnt relate to the system where this bug encountered but i assume this isnt relevant) after installing a debian from recently downloaded iso the system boots fine into grub but gets stuck in the grub command prompt. i installed debian in the same partition where previously ubuntu was installed but did not know about additional files for efi in partition 1. after some investigations i found that there was a leftover from the ubuntu installation in directory /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu containing some files. very similar to the directory /boot/efi/EFI/debian which comes with the debian installation. efibootmgr showed values that seemed to be fine (while there was an ubuntu entry) and BootOrder pointed to the debian Boot entry. the uuid in grub.cfg was correct and pointed to the debian partition. after removing that ubuntu directory grub works fine. i dont know if it was just my mistake not to delete that dir when wiping ubuntu from the system or the debian installer should notice that or grub should not screw up when its not configured to take that dir into account. just checked: grub-efi version is 2.12-5 -- System Information: Debian Release: 12.5 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 6.1.0-21-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages grub-efi depends on: ii grub-common 2.06-13+deb12u1 ii grub-efi-amd64 2.06-13+deb12u1 grub-efi recommends no packages. grub-efi suggests no packages.
