[Bug 1954566] Re: jammy-proposed grub-efi-amd64-signed 1.175+2.06 2ubuntu2fails to find or load kernel

[Matthew Ruffell]

Hi Julian, Derk,

I have been testing grub2-2.06-2ubuntu2 in -proposed in KVM, on both
BIOS and EFI VMs, and both appear to be broken.

On BIOS, grub2 doesn't get installed automatically, so I have to
manually run "grub-install /dev/vda". When I do, I reboot into grub
2.06, and upon selecting a kernel, I see:

error: premature end of file /vmlinuz-5.15.0-13-generic.
error: you need to load the kernel first.

Press any key to continue...

On EFI, shim-signed installs grub 2.06, but when I reboot and select a
kernel, I see:

error: out of memory.
error: you need to load the kernel first.

Press any key to continue...

EFI stub: ERROR: Failed to alocate usable memory for kernel.
EFI stub: ERROR: efi_relocate_kernel() failed!
EFI stub: ERROR: efi_main() failed!
BdsDxe: failed to start Boot0004 "ubuntu" from HD(1,GPT,7165AAF-9AAE-4CD2-AEBC-6A8854B86CCD,0x800,0x100000)/\EFI\ubuntu\shimx64.efi: Not Found

I press enter, then:

ERROR
Could not install security protocol: (0x2) Invalid Parameter
OK
Something has gone seriously wrong: Invalid Parameter
shim cannot continue, sorry.

Both VMs fail to boot, causing this grub update to be a regression.
