--- Begin Message ---Package: grub-efi-amd64 Version: 2.00-17 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable i'm running on a Lenovo S205 laptop that has both both Debian and W7 installed. i'm booting via EFI. today i upgraded grub vom 2.00-15 to 2.00-17. after a reboot, grub stopped in 'rescue' mode. my grub skills are a bit rusty and no 'insmod' command worked, so i was basically locked out of the system. i therefore booted from a netinst-CD into 'rescue'-mode and ran: # grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi/ --boot-directory=/boot/efi/EFI/ --recheck rebooting the system know gives me a somewhat nicer grub-console, from which at least I can boot by running: # load_env # insmod all_video # terminal_output gfxterm # set root='hd0,gpt4' # linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.10-2-amd64 root=/dev/sda4 # initrd /boot/initrd.img-3.10-2-amd64 # boot obviously this is bit tedious to do each time you want to reboot the system. unfortunately i haven't been able to make grub automatically use /boot/grub/grub.cfg. obviously i tried running `update-grub2` (and did so multiple times), but while this creates/updates my /boot/grub/grub.cfg it doesn't make grub use the file. help appreciated, fmadrs IOhannes -- Package-specific info: *********************** BEGIN /proc/mounts /dev/sda4 / ext4 rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro,data=ordered 0 0 /dev/sda1 /boot/efi vfat rw,relatime,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=437,iocharset=utf8,shortname=mixed,errors=remount-ro 0 0 /dev/sda6 /home ext4 rw,relatime,data=ordered 0 0 *********************** END /proc/mounts *********************** BEGIN /boot/grub/grub.cfg # # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE # # It is automatically generated by grub-mkconfig using templates # from /etc/grub.d and settings from /etc/default/grub # ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/00_header ### if [ -s $prefix/grubenv ];

Hmm. Well, I didn't change anything relevant in GRUB, although I suppose it's possible that it's related to EFI variable problems, which indeed mostly reside elsewhere. I'm glad this is resolved for you now, and I'm closing this since it doesn't appear to be a regression from 2.00-15 to 2.00-17 as the original report suggested, although I suspect the EFI variable problems are going to run and run in a variety of bugs.
