Bug description:
I found this issue on Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS, but it's a general issue for
grub-2.06.
This is my setup information：
nvme0n1
├─nvme0n1p1 vfat FAT32 EFI0 5282-D345
40.6M 17% /boot/efi
└─nvme0n1p2 ext4 1.0 OS0 bdfcdb95-b1c7-42ea-b1b8-69c20099586e
105.6G 4% /
The first partition is /dev/nvme0n1p1, FAT format.
The grub prefix environment value default be set:
prefix=(hd0,gpt1)/EFI/ubuntu # read grub at
/boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/grub.cfg.
Grub will first probe the /dev/nvme0n1p1, which is the FAT format.
When trying FAT fs, the mount is successful, but there is a check that
if any files under the mount patch(/boot/efi) timestamp exceeds 2038,
probe will fail, and try next type FS(for example, ext2...).
Ultimately, the probe will fail and can not read the grub.cfg and show
the grub menu, then enter the grub cmdline.
It's easy to reproduce:
touch -d "2038-02-20" /boot/efi/EFI
reboot. # After reboot, enter the grub cmdline.
Can mannel boot the setup success:
set prefix=(hd0,gpt2)/boot/grub # set the "grub.cfg" on the second
partition, it's ext2 format. The path is: "/boot/grub/grub.cfg". Actually
"/boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/grub.cfg" redirected to it.
insmod linux
insmod normal
normal # Boot linux success.
There already is a fix in the master branch: e43f3d93b fs/fat: Don't error
when mtime is 0.
I have tested it, and it works. We need to include this patch in the latest
Ubuntu grub-2.06 code.
