Hi Michael, This sounds like you're seeing exactly the same problem as Helen reported (and demonstrated to me) in #905319. The onboard nvme disk on the Dell XPS machines apparently isn't properly mapped in the firmware so that new EFI boot variables don't work. grub-install adds an entry pointing at the first "hard disk" which should normally work on most machines. Pending a firmware fix, there is a workaround - install to the removable media path too. See https://wiki.debian.org/UEFI#Force_grub-efi_installation_to_the_removable_media_path for more information.
