Fun anecdote, a while back I was installing Windows onto a box with Debian. When I needed to get GRUB set up again, efibootmgr was throwing an inscrutable error when installing the boot loader, but I had no issues manually booting it from GRUB on a USB.

Ended up being the case that the EFI pstore was filled (half full?) with Linux crash dumps from before I ironed out some OC stability issues. Had to manually mount it and then delete files named "dump-type0-" from the BIOS NVRAM to resolve the issue, which was pretty fun.
