Welcome to GRUB
error: symbol 'grub_calloc' not found
grub rescue.
Uh oh, bootloader is hosed.
This is actually a really wide spread bug with Grub on multiple
distributions at the moment. You're on MX so luckily there's a thread on
it here complete with the fix:
https://forum.mxlinux.org/viewtopic.php?f=115&t=59532
It's pretty ugly and requires a live media boot and rescue I'm afraid.
Ask if you run into problems.
Thanks, I will have a look. What puzzles me a bit is the my desktop
computer, which I am using now, is working fine. Yet both computers are
up to date.
Anyway, it may not be so simple. The method suggested is via using a
USB stick with the MX Linux iso on it. I did try that, but the laptop
will not boot from the stick. I finish up with the same error message.
If it worked I would have tried the boot fix file in MX Tools.
