Yup it's UEFI. I removed grub-efi-amd64-signed and ran grub-install, and it fixed my system! Thanks for pointing me in the right direction smile

hi, I have upgraded my machine to beowulf. Thanks to all the people for their instructions. My steps.

# apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
Replaced all -ascii- to -beowulf- in /etc/apt/sources.list
Created /etc/apt/preferences.d/avoid_some_beo like fsmithred did.
# apt-get update
# apt-get upgrade
# apt-get dist-upgrade
# reboot

Issues:
firefox 67.0b2 tab crashes while playing any video
no audio in youtube video using vivaldi browser instead of firefox.
fish shell does not work.

Comment out autospawn in /etc/pulse/client.conf.d/00-disable-autospawn.conf fix firefox issues.
uninstall fish
purge fish configuration files and omf configuration files
install fish

I tried this process on a fresh devuan install, and it went fine until I got to the reboot; now it just shows a grub menu with no options. I tried using chroot to run update-grub from an ascii Live-USB, and the update ran fine, it saw the new kernel and didn't throw any errors. But the grub menu is still empty on reboot. Does anyone have insight into what could have gone wrong?
