Hello all,
I have stumbled upon a very strange bug indeed--one that I cannot seem to find anywhere else. I first noticed it booting into Ubuntu 17.10. I inserted the live usb into my system, rebooted, and when the computer rebooted, GRUB failed to appear, and I got a scrambled message saying that Windows could not boot. I was horrified since I have a Lenovo laptop--I thought I may have fallen victim to that terrible bug that can brick a Lenovo BIOS. I inserted a trusty Arch live disk, chrooted into my system and reinstalled Grub using the EFI method. Luckily, that fixed the problem. I then DD'd Ubuntu 16.04 onto a thumb drive, and I encountered the same problem. And I was able to reinstall Grub EFI via a live disc. I then DD'd KDE Neon onto a thumb drive. Same problem. I took a look through the boot messages with journalctl, and I could not figure out what happened.
Has anyone heard of this before? It's very strange. I have no idea if this is a manifestation of the Intel bug or a Linux issue. I thought the Intel bug did not allow one to save changes to the boot sequence or reinstall GRUB.
I would be very grateful for your help, and I would be happy to post any logs that may help.
Thank you very much!
Sincerely,
Corey Goettsch
