  in my case it is that grub and refind don't do well together.  i
prefer booting via refind, but keep grub around just in case.  i
have also now put a menu entry for grub to chainload refind.


in /etc/grub.d/40_custom i have:

=====
#!/bin/sh
exec tail -n +3 $0
# This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries.  Simply type the
# menu entries you want to add after this comment.  Be careful not to change
# the 'exec tail' line above.
#
menuentry "Refind Menu" {
    insmod part_gpt
    insmod fat
    insmod chain
    root=hd0,1
    chainloader /EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI
    }
=====

but i also have this documented in another place just in case
grub deletes my 40_custom file.
