Bug Description

I upgraded my 18.04 bionic to 18.10. It's been a dual boot Inspiron box for a while. Latest win/dos bios installed. I'm a dell partner and they don't support the version and won't. But, I spoke to the engineers there and they have seen this same issue.

Grub just doesn't load. bios have both loaders listed. Usually, a little trick after re-installing windows or Ubuntu is to change the boot order o/s in cmos. Save and reboot. Then change o/s boot back to normal or grub/ubuntu first, then save and reboot and all is well.

Not today. Before I make a project of this, checking to see what's happening with 18.10 if anything at all,
