I can confirm that installing grub-pc-bin did not keep the machine from booting today. :)) I should have looked into the Debian package descriptions for GRUB five days earlier when i learned that a BIOS+EFI setup was involved. Instead i developed a wild theory about the /tmp filesystem on Gentoo while being fooled by atexit(3). https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-grub/2025-05/msg00028.html https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-grub/2025-05/msg00054.html Have a nice day :) Thomas
