I do not use Secure Boot, but thanks anyway, will keep in mind in case I'll need it

Alternatively rename /boot/efi/EFI/devuan/ to /boot/efi/EFI/debian/ and keep the signed GRUB package so that Secure Boot will actually work.

EDIT: corrected paths.

Maybe try (re)installing grub via a 'live' USB drive session(?).

Hello everybody,
some time ago (several months I suppose), after safe-upgrade my Devuan Beowulf on P50 stopped booting, after some those days and recent activities I got grub booting but every time to 'minimal editing' mode.
Tricks with setting root/prefix/normal mod leads to normal boot process, however subsequent after-boot 'grub-install/update-grub' do not cause any changes and minimal-edit mode is still auto started with no menu present, not sure how to debug, could that be any grub configuration issue?
Thanks,
