Corrupted Boot partition after upgrade to 24.04

[oldfred]

When you start system, does not grub menu appear with the entries that os-prober shows it found as shown in your post #22?
And you scroll down to which ever grub entry you want to boot.

Several examples, but has fancy background images & colors.

More examples, started on last page of a mega-thread.

Ok, finally getting back to this fun! I ran a script from the thread OldFred suggested and see this:

sudo] password for wilson: 
     0    Ubuntu
     1    Advanced options for Ubuntu
     2    Ubuntu, with Linux 6.8.0-48-generic
     3    Ubuntu, with Linux 6.8.0-48-generic (recovery mode)
     4    memtest86+
     5    Memory test (memtest86+x64.efi, serial console)
     6    Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS (24.04) (on /dev/sda5)
     7    Advanced options for Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS (24.04) (on /dev/sda5)
     8    Ubuntu (on /dev/sda5)
     9    Ubuntu, with Linux 6.8.0-47-generic (on /dev/sda5)
    10    Ubuntu, with Linux 6.8.0-47-generic (recovery mode) (on /dev/sda5)
    11    Ubuntu, with Linux 5.15.0-124-generic (on /dev/sda5)
    12    Ubuntu, with Linux 5.15.0-124-generic (recovery mode) (on /dev/sda5)
    13    UEFI Firmware Settings

This a part of my confusion since I wasn't aware that sometimes I was booting one version and then another. I'll dig in now and decide which one I like best and we'll proceed to a new thread to talk about moving files over (hopefully!) Cheers

So I've decided that the various options result in: a. boot to command line b. boot to Dell Support Assist page, then shutdown c. Ubuntu 24.04

I have tried recovery mode, sometimes that works, other times it goes to command line. I've made a matrix to try and sort it out, but if you look at the code I posted there are a lot of choices.

In the end, it doesn't really matter to me which one I use, just as long as we can move the old data to the new system. At that point, I would like to clean up this boot mess.

Anyone see anything in my boot list that looks interesting?

Thanks
