Speaking of the devil: I just upgraded an Ubuntu install which I hadn't touched for around a month, and after rebooting I'm unable to boot Ubuntu.

It's very odd. Instead of the GRUB menu, only a countdown number shows up on the top-left (5,4,3,..) with an underscore behind it. "5 _". All the rest is black.

When the countdown finishes, the system boots into the (UEFI) BIOS.

If I use the BIOS' boot disk selector, then it also happens both when I directly select the Ubuntu installation as well as when I select the GRUB bootloader.

I hope I'll enjoy the ride.
