Hey everyone! After the latest grub update (1h ago), I restarted my laptop and it didn’t even go to the grub menu. Laptop shuts down and restarts going into BIOS screen. I didn’t have issues with grub’s earlier update this week because I don’t have grub-customizer. I chrooted through a live usb, downgraded grub and everything seems to work again. Anyone having the same issue? also I don’t seem to find anything in the journal. * * * **Moderation note:** _go here to the tutorial on solving the issue:_ [https://forum.endeavouros.com/t/the-latest-grub-package-update-needs-some-manual-intervention](https://forum.endeavouros.com/t/the-latest-grub-package-update-needs-some-manual-intervention) * * * ---

I’m experiencing the exact same issue. Resolution was same as you: downgrading grub. There’s a reddit post highlighting the issue as well: > **[r/archlinux - Latest Grub update - Testing Repo - couldnt boot](https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/wx90x4/latest_grub_update_testing_repo_couldnt_boot/)** > > Bis jetzt 153 Votes und 82 Kommentare auf Reddit ---

Yeah, I get exactly the same here. Can’t believe this bug made it into stable. ---

Just checked and i can see that it only happen on uefi installs no problem on legacy Bios systems… And i can boot up again after chrooting and regenerating grubcfg `grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg` and reinstall grub files----\> `grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=EndeavourOS` So no downgrade is needed but chroot… can be really a bad moment if you do not have any live medium to boot… Would be nice to get a solution for users with no way to chroot … i have no clue on that at the moment… ---

Yeah, even their official install script uses systemd for uefi installs last time I checked. ---

Just happened to me also on my kde. Good thing i have triple boot and i have grub separated on each. Now i have to figure out how can i fix it since it only boots directly into the UEFI screen if i select kde from rEFInd. 😱 Edit: Of course I’m on btrfs also. 😬 Edit2: Was able to arch-chroot on my btrfs setup with rEFInd and downgrade grub. Now I’m back in! I’m surprised i could figure out the btrfs to mount it properly. ☺ ---

I updated several installs and haven’t had any problem yet. Although…I don’t use grub so maybe that is related somehow… 🤔 > [@BlackHole](#): > > after that I did reinstall EOS, I got update and I did update, again broken Well yeah, doing the same thing twice typically ends in the same result. There was really no need to reinstall in that situation. ---
