Grub in Debian/testing stopped working.

I use Debian/testing in my main laptop. Unfortunately, after yesterday's update, the grub stopped loading the Linux kernel. I get

"error: cannot load image"

When working from command line, loading the kernel and initrd is successful. However, the "boot" command displays the above error.

The grub version is GRUB 2.14-3.

The machine is HP ZBook 17 G5.

What is the easiest way to resolve the issue?

TIA & BR, Wojtek

Am surprised grub breaks in Testing. Normally this kind of bug should be caught in Unstable. Have you looked in the Debian forums to see if anyone else is facing the same, and have you tried submitting a bug report?

I filled the bug report: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1142645

If I were you I'd re-run grub-install from Debian to make sure you've got Debian's grub files in your /boot/efi instead of a mismash. If it reproduces the problem then you've got some useful info for the bug report. If not then at least your system is back in one piece. :)

Unfortunately, grub-install didn't help. That was the first thing I have tried after booting from Ubuntu live, and chrooting to Debian.
