Again, I am very sure that I am not victim of any BIOS limitations, but
that GRUB does one thing five times in a row as expected and just
doesn't do it a sixth time around for reasons unknown.
Do you change anything (updates etc.) between the 5th and 6th boots ? If not,
this is starting to sound like flaky hardware to me...
Yes, I installed the 167 updates that came up.
If you do, then what - If it is anything to do with grub/kernels I still
maintain it sounds like you have part of your filesystems that are needed by
grub, written to a part of your system grub cannot reach for whatever reason.
Which is unfortunate and is a GRUB/kernel issue.
