(Get the code!)
Thank you for taking the time to understand my bug report. I tried dpkg-reconfigure grub-efi-amd64 but it doesn't give me an option to select a new install device. I get interactive menus for three settings: Linux command line, Linux default command line, and Update NVRAM variables. There's nothing about selecting the install device. (Nor do I see one if I use the editor frontend). See below for an error log after answering those 3 menu questions, starting with Unknown device "/dev/disk/
Is there another way to force dpkg to let me select a new install device?
I also tried dpkg-reconfigure on grub-efi-
BTW I understand now why there's no /dev/disk/by-id/. I'm using VirtIO disks in the newly virtualized server and that does not produce serial numbers for the disk devices. Not Debian/Ubuntu's doing really, but I do need a way to convince the GRUB debconf to reconfigure.
Here's the full error log from dpkg-reconfigure grub-efi-amd64.
