"efibootmgr: Could not set variable Boot0000: No such file or directory" и "efibootmgr: Could not prepare boot variable: No such file or directory"

grub-efi-amd64-signed при установке для платформы x86_64-efi иногда (~1 из 20 тестов) не удается создать запись Boot0000 со следующими ошибками "efibootmgr: Could not set variable Boot0000: No such file or directory" и "efibootmgr: Could not prepare boot variable: No such file or directory"

Я даже попытался удалить все загрузочные записи перед запуском grub-install -v /dev/sda без успеха.

Я хочу добиться надежной работы с помощью grub, а не использовать rEFInd.

Я написал bash скрипт, чтобы на 100% воспроизвести эту проблему:

# UEFI NVRAM Variable Reproducibility Unit Test
set -x
while true
do
        efibootmgr -v
        for i in $(seq 0 9)

        done
        efibootmgr -v
        grub-install
        if [ $(efibootmgr -v | grep -c ubuntu) -eq 0 ]
        then
                echo "BUG!!! OS will now fail to boot!!!"
                exit 0
        fi
done

Ниже приведено мое обходное решение:

# ensure fallback UEFI NVRAM boot record variable exists
efibootmgr -c -d /dev/sda -p 1 -w -L fallback -l '\EFI\ubuntu\grubx64.efi'

Создание второй избыточной загрузочной записи - это идеальное обходное решение для моей ненадежной аппаратной проблемы. Таким образом, grub-install может продолжать удалять, редактировать и использовать запись Boot0000/ubuntu. Если запись Boot0000/ubuntu будет потеряна, то нетронутая запись Boot0001/fallback будет автоматически выбрана BIOS и загрузит ОС.

/var/log/kern.log -> kernel: [ 179.804812] efivars: set_variable() failed: status=8000000000000009

Это в сочетании с параметром ядра efi_no_storage_paranoia=1 дает мне необходимую аппаратную надежность.
