Subject: [DNG] grub-efi-amd64-signed bug: hardcoded link -> unbootable system
Dear list

Beowulf is hit hard by a problem with hardcoded path in grub-efi-amd64-signed
leading to an unbootable system as reported on this list and on dev1galaxy
(manual intervention in certain configurations needed to boot). This problem
also exists on fresh installs of beowulf, as it seems. Is there some effort
under way to fix the problem?

Best regards, Adrian.


Work-around (thanks to fsmithred):

# apt purge grub-efi-amd64-signed
...
# apt install --reinstall grub-efi-amd64
...
