On all my GPT disks, the required ESP filesystem is on (hd0,gpt1). Presumably your
ESP is on (hd1,gpt1). Given the data provided in your OP about your Q556, I would
expect to see (hd1,gpt2) as a /boot/ partition to support your lvm /. Instead you
have only swap and / on your (hd1). I wasn't aware that LVM users no longer needed
a separate /boot/ filesystem.
Modern PCs no longer "require" Windows to upgrade a BIOS. Instead, most offer an
assortment of possible methods, one of which is booting into BIOS setup utility
that will find a new BIOS on a FAT formatted USB stick. Some are reputedly capable
of getting the new BIOS directly off the internet.

You seem to have skipped addressing this directly. It appears from your Grub shell
ls output that you may have, but differently from what worked on the working other
system, instead, creating a swap, and omitting a /boot/. Comparing ls output from
the other system might be useful.
