Details:
I created a UEFI usb boot disk of Linux Mint 18.1 Cinnamon x64. Installation
is on a 256GB internal SSD (/dev/sda). I have /dev/sda1 which is 100 MiB EFI
system partition with mount point at /boot/efi formatted to fat32 and
/dev/sda4 is root formatted to xfs. Install went fine except that on reboot I
get the grub console. I tracked down the problem to grub-efi-amd64 or
grub-efi-amd64-signed created a /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/grub.cfg with missing ()
arround the root partition which is the reason for the failed boot. Here is
the line created in grub.cfg:
search.fs_uuid 6ef44b4a-5164-4f1d-83b2-1cc82720dde0 root hd0,gpt4
should be:sudo apt install --reinstall grub-efi-amd64-signed or
sudo apt install --reinstall grub-efi-amd64
search.fs_uuid 6ef44b4a-5164-4f1d-83b2-1cc82720dde0 root (hd0,gpt4)
This can be recreated by deleting the /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/grub.cfg and
running
sudo apt install --reinstall grub-efi-amd64-signed or
sudo apt install --reinstall grub-efi-amd64ed the package
4/5/17) I upgraded (2.02~beta2-36ubuntu3.8) to 2.02~beta2-36ubuntu3.9. The
same result. No braces around root partition.
