I want to continue on this thread. I have disabled
EFI_CAPSULE_ON_DISK_EARLY some time ago and trying to workaround that
usb/scsi detection by simply calling usb reset and scsi reset as the
part of PREBOOT. Then all disks are recorded and visible by grub.

But I found another issue which is kind of weird. We are using
distroboot with soft of fixed sequence. Important part of sequence is
sd, usb, scsi.

I have added grub on scsi and when I boot directly via run bootcmd_scsi0
everything is working fine. When I let distroboot to do the job it or
run printenv -e before bootcmd_scsi0 I am getting exception.
>From debug it is visible that it is exception called from
efi_disk_read_blocks.

Logs are below and there is different place where disks are registered.
Do you have any idea what could go wrong? Or something to check?

Thanks,
Michal
