I ran 18 reboot experiments last night to try to fix the problem.

Dear Maintainer,
I am seeing the double chain loading of the old grub legacy which
successfully loads the modern grub.
Evidently, I forgot to run upgrade-from-grub-legacy on some systems
10 years ago. Or maybe it failed to work 10 years ago and
ains the output of 'cat
/sys/class/drm/card0/error'.
I am planning to reboot soon to try another test, since daily GPU hangs
will slow my productivity unacceptibly. I need to keep debugging in the
hopes that I can find a solution.
