I have had a functioning system on wheeze using grub2.  I did an
upgrade to Jessie according to the debian docs.

Now when I boot my system I simply get a black screen after the POST
screen - there's no GRUB screen or any hint of it.
I had a similar problem with a laptop. I resolved it (finally) with aBIOS upgrade.
Sadly this problem started AFTER I upgraded my BIOS. I have triedinstalling debian (AMD64) from scratch and am unable to boot from thiseither. I can't find any way to downgrade the BIOS and there is only oneBIOS upgrade file on the Gigabyte website.

I have managed to make my system bootable by installing LILO. Couldsomebody let me know if this is likely to be obsoleted any time? I haven'treceived any indication that it will be.
