[Uefi-X86_Ubuntu 22.04.3 ] Impossible to update Grub, stalled into minimal grub stage

Description

This is the screenshot of my attempt to have side by side
armbian aarch64 and armbian x86 on the same disk

 

 

I have installed succesfully armbian bananapi on /dev/sda1 (armbi_root)
I created a 256Mo fat32 on /dev/sda2 and a third ext4 with uefi-x86, i synchronized
with the iso like this:

#loop0 7:0 0 9,9G 0 loop
#├─loop0p1 259:0 0 4M 0 part
#├─loop0p2 259:1 0 256M 0 part
#└─loop0p3 259:2 0 9,6G 0 part

all was done on a 2’5 sata hardrive

. I boot on it using ventoy combined with super-grub2 disk, avoiding this sort of nightmare like in the script that is not sufficient sometimes !


Everthing is fine to boot and I set a paswword as usual the frst installation,

. I struggle with the keyboard because it is not english so I have to

as Nautilus does not provide the ability to open a term here, I swaped it to nemo

and bored, change the desktop to cinnamon

Now as I am not satisfied, I want this on a ssd, I tried with a sata ssd, after
fighting a bit, grubs starts annoying to restore the boot but I succeed to make it boot per default only un grub mode./ MBR only

Now I want this on nvme. I do quite the same steps. This time I am so tired not managing to rectify the boot I use ‘boot-recovery’ shiipped with the swiss-knife toolset medicat, the king of Boot-Repair-Disk 64bit - sized of 22gb reducing script to..(after switching back base-files package to old one <12 to be able to install grub-efi-amd64-signed)

Notice that there is not more annoyances stuff like:
”nvram locked” solved with --no-nvram .

“warning: EFI variables cannot be set on this system.”
solved with mount -t efivarfs none /sys/firmware/efi/efivars

The THING is on my side it said you have not secureboot enabled
bur as the same time the system acts if it prevents to update grub !

This stuff allows me to go further but at the end on start I fall in Minimal Grub 2.06 mode having to type (or using ventoy+super grub2 disk)

The grub install produced no errors, using a secure boot signed with shim-signed on
a non secureboot system.. Is grub 2.06 buggy with nvme or do I missed something TO AVOID TO BE STUCK IN THE MINIMAL BASH GRUB making uefi X86 inaccessible for common users.. ?

It seems grub efi can not handle nvme, I converged to grub-pc with target i386-pc and then grub-install did the correct job at least!
