[Bug 1823383] Re: grub-efi fails to register boot entry

[Grub]

** Description changed:

+ ProblemType: Package
+ DistroRelease: Ubuntu 19.04
+ Package: grub-efi-amd64 2.02+dfsg1-12ubuntu2
+ ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.18.0-18.19-generic 4.18.20
+ Uname: Linux 5.0.0-13-generic x86_64
+ Architecture: amd64
+ 
  Every time grub  is updating it removes an already existing efi boot entry and tries to create a new one. In my case it fails to make the new boot entry with an error:
     "error: efibootmgr failed to register the boot entry: Input/output error."
  
  Due to this failure, system becomes unbootable since there is no boot
  entry in efivar. I have to then manually boot system with
  efi_no_storage_paranoia kernel parameter in order for grub to
  successfully install.
  
  There is already available patch form the main grub repository to fix grub-install to not re-create efi boot entry if one already exists.
  The patch can be found here: https://salsa.debian.org/grub-team/grub/commit/c3ab38fcac862d07eceefe3c56fa22b140f37410
