Grub 2:2.06.r322.gd9b4638c5-1 won't boot and goes straight to the BIOS after update

It sounds like the recent change of Arch grub package, to follow latest upstream grub, instead of latest version, might have finally brought the initrd changes, but I can’t confirm (I haven’t updated yet :laughing: ). I have warned some time ago

Also, the mentioned package (grub-tools) includes a plan(?)/note to self(?) for this case

But if upstream fixes the initrd issue in grub and os-prober, then

  • remove hook eos-grub-fix-initrd-generation.hook
  • reinstall packages grub and os-prober

For those paniked from this situation and suggest to abort grub and use refind or systemd, to be safe from broken systems/software, I can only remind that:

Every software is possible to have bugs, sooner or later!

Don’t panic. Just learn how to swim in stormy weather. :person_shrugging: Easy!
