I have run an apt-dist upgrade on my dedicated server that uses a
kernel from the provider (OVH) and I am getting the following
error:

Adding boot menu entry for EFI firmware configuration
I am concerned that this could cause the machine not to boot
anymore but I see that the grub config file has been created and
installed. Is it anything to worry about? I cannot understand as I
have another dedicated server with exactly the same config with
the same provider and it has no issues.
