Bug#919826: - update
Follow up following more investigation
I have since re-installed my system (again from DI beta4).
I have reconfirmed that yes following an upgrade after the install the
system still fails to boot.
However at Sledge's suggestion (and with his help) I reverted to the
versions of grub that are included on the DVD set of DI beta 4
that is to say I followed the following steps:
1) reboot failed system using USB stick containing image
debian-buster-DI-alpha4-arm64-DVD-1.iso
2) mount the partition on my hard disk for
/
/boot
/boot/efi
3) downgrade grub2 to the versions found on
debian-buster-DI-alpha4-arm64-DVD-1.iso i.e.
dpkg -i grub-efi-arm64-bin_2.02+dfsg1-8_arm64.deb \
grub-efiarm64_2.02+dfsg1-8_arm64.deb \
grub2-common_2.02+dfsg1-8_arm64.deb \
grub-common_2.02+dfsg1-8_arm64.deb
4) reboot
At this point I am able to correctly start both my old kernel (found on
DI beta4 - Linux 4.18.0-3-arm64) and the current Buster kernel image
(Linux 4.19.0-1-arm64)
Conclusion:
I have wrongly attributed this bug to the kernel - it should be re
assigned to grub2
