[Bug 1855574] Re: grub-efi-amd64-signed (1.93.15+2.02-2ubuntu8.14) failed to upgrade, system unbootable

[Georg B.]

I am/was affected by this bug (or at least the same symptoms) on a Dell
XPS 13 9343. It got resolved by updating the BIOS from version A15 to
version A20. I got the idea from reading the comments at
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2-signed/+bug/1753518,
which may be related to this.
