Package: grub-efi-amd64 Followup-For: Bug #931896 I don't have grub-efi-amd64 installed, but I ran into the same problem. The only enabled lines in /etc/default/grub are these: GRUB_DEFAULT=0 GRUB_TIMEOUT=5 GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian` GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet" GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""
Which, afaik, is the default. The versions reported are what's currently installed as with 2.04 my system doesn't boot. I'm not sure/don't understand what Colin meant with 'firmware'. My guess would be my BIOS, but I haven't changed that recently. But up until version 2.04 grub2 has worked perfectly well and I don't recall me having configured anything manually, so I wouldn't know why it would be misconfigured. Downgrading to version 2.02+dfsg1-20 makes it work again I can send my grub.cfg in a separate email if that would help. (How can I do a followup with bugreport so that the full output is reported as you'd get with an initial filing of a bug?) I get no errors during the upgrade to 2.04: root@host:~# aptitude unhold grub-pc root@host:~# aptitude safe-upgrade Resolving dependencies...
