Urgh.............

Thanks for the report. Could you provide some more details?

- Is your machine definitely bricked?
- Exactly which Dell machine is this?
- What were you doing to cause your machine to not boot? Using
efibootmgr?
- Please send your .config
- Have you reported this to any BIOS engineers to confirm the cause of
the bricking?
- Have you got a dmesg from the machine before it broke?
