[ale] Debian/Ubuntu/Mint install



Well, not quite a brick. The boot process ends with a terminal window and this prompt:  grub>_

It's been a decade or more since I last had to muck about with grub.  I have no idea at all what I might be able to do at this point.  I am still trying to shuffle BIOS settings -- hoping that land on the combination that works.

That's that I did -- and now I have a brick!

Apparently I am caught in some sort of diabolical hell caused by EFI and Secure Boot.

The BIOS software doesn't have a usable manual and the Ubuntu install program seems to believe (wrongly) that it plays nicely with this crap. It even requires me to set up a partition just for EFI!

I'm still fighting this.  Has anyone here recently installed a current Debian OS on a computer damned with a UFI/Secure Boot BIOS?
