Well, not quite a brick. The boot process ends with a terminal window and this prompt: grub>_
It's been a decade or more since I last had to muck about with grub. I have no idea at all what I might be able to do at this point. I am still trying to shuffle BIOS settings -- hoping that land on the combination that works.

That's that I did -- and now I have a brick!
Apparently I am caught in some sort of diabolical hell caused by EFI and Secure Boot.
The BIOS software doesn't have a usable manual and the Ubuntu install program seems to believe (wrongly) that it plays nicely with this crap. It even requires me to set up a partition just for EFI!
I'm still fighting this. Has anyone here recently installed a current Debian OS on a computer damned with a UFI/Secure Boot BIOS?
