update-grub and then grub-mkconfig leads to the watchdog: BUG: soft lockup
While digging around here I saw that update-grub will lead to a lockup
every time. So I simply changed /usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig script to
allow me to see everything that happens.
That gets me to :
/usr/sbin/grub-probe --device /dev/sda2 --target=fs_uuid
which falls to pieces perfectly :

Type 'go' to resume

If I could install gdb then perhaps ... maybe ... I can see what is
happening here. However that will have to wait until tomorrow or
so :
eros# apt-get install gdb
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
gdb : Depends: libpython3.8 (>= 3.8.2) but it is not installable
Recommends: libc-dbg
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
eros#
I would compile my own grub-probe but at the moment I can not get a
compiler installed. So I will look into this tomorrow.
