Ubuntu just boots into GRUB. Ran the Boot-Repair tool to no effect.
At the time I started having problems, I was provided a prompt in Ubuntu where it said I had to restart to install an update - white rectangular box prompt at the top of the screen (I didn't pay attention to what it was). Ubuntu never rebooted successfully after that.
Can anyone make heads/tails of this Boot Repair Summary for me?
Thanks in advance

============================= Boot Repair Summary ==============================
GPT PMBR size mismatch (31293406 != 31293439) will be corrected by write.
Recommended repair: __________________________________________________ __________
The default repair of the Boot-Repair utility will purge (in order to fix packages) and reinstall the grub2 of
sda2 into the MBR of sda.
Grub-efi will not be selected by default because no ESP detected outside live discs.
Additional repair will be performed: unhide-bootmenu-10s
chroot /mnt/boot-sav/sda2 apt-get -y update
Running in chroot, ignoring command 'start'
Purge the GRUB of /dev/sda2
grub-pc available
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
linux-modules-6.8.0-39-generic linux-modules-extra-6.8.0-39-generic
linux-tools-6.8.0-39 linux-tools-6.8.0-39-generic
Use 'apt autoremove' to remove them.
The following additional packages will be installed:
grub-common grub-gfxpayload-lists grub-pc-bin grub2-common os-prober
Suggested packages:
multiboot-doc grub-emu mtools xorriso desktop-base
The following NEW packages will be installed:
grub-common grub-gfxpayload-lists grub-pc grub-pc-bin grub2-common os-prober
0 upgraded, 6 newly installed, 0 to remove and 24 not upgraded.
DEBCHECK debOK, grub-pc
DEBCHECK debOK
Then type: sudo chroot "/mnt/boot-sav/sda2" dpkg --configure -ansudo chroot "/mnt/boot-sav/sda2" apt-get install -fynsudo chroot "/mnt/boot-sav/sda2" apt-get install -y grub-pc
Unhide GRUB boot menu in sda2/etc/default/grub
====================== Reinstall the grub-pc of /dev/sda2 ======================
chroot /mnt/boot-sav/sda2 grub-install --version
grub-install (GRUB) 2.12-1ubuntu7
==> Reinstall the GRUB of /dev/sda2 into the MBR of /dev/sda
chroot /mnt/boot-sav/sda2 grub-install /dev/sda
Installing for i386-pc platform.
Installation finished. No error reported.
chroot /mnt/boot-sav/sda2 update-grub
Sourcing file `/etc/default/grub'
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-6.8.0-40-generic
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-6.8.0-40-generic
Adding boot menu entry for UEFI Firmware Settings ...
Unhide GRUB boot menu in sda2/boot/grub/grub.cfg
Boot successfully repaired.
You can now reboot your computer.
Please do not forget to make your BIOS boot on sda (DELL PERC H730 Mini) disk!
The boot files of [sda2 (end>100GB)] are far from the start of the disk. Your BIOS may not detect them. You may want to retry after creating a /boot partition (EXT4, >200MB, start of the disk). This can be performed via tools such as gParted. Then select this partition via the [Separate /boot partition:] option of [Boot Repair]. (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootPartition)
============================ Boot Info After Repair ============================
=> Grub2 (v2.00) is installed in the MBR of /dev/sda and looks at sector 2048
of the same hard drive for core.img. core.img is at this location and
looks for (,gpt2)/boot/grub. It also embeds following components:
modules
