I made it (with latest debian-gnome 9.3 live), and tested it OK on
*another* machine.

But on the machine where the problem is, it does *NOT* boot.

It does display the key brand/model (instead of "Windows boot manager")
but when selecting it, the punishment is as usual : black screen with
cursor, game over.

No grub message or output of any kind.
