this may tie into another bug that may or may not have been fixed. I
have a Multiboot system. When I had it running with the MBR style of
only one boot drive, grub kept getting overwritten with the other
distro's. As long as it was one of the ubuntu flavors I had no issues
but as soon as it was debian or fedora going to ubuntu it gave a shim
mismatch error and would not boot. I ended up stripping out all of the
boot selectors and then setting up an EFI partition on each distro's
drive to keep them all separated to their own drive, then using the UEFI
boot selector to set which drive and distro to boot from. this included
telling the installer to use the drive that distro was going to and
setting the EFI flag to datadrive on all the EFI boot partitions save
the one that that distro was being installed to so it would not install
on a different drive despite what it was told in the installer...
updating is not an issue as it doesn't attempt to redo the drive mapping
unlike the initial installer, anyways I degressed into another issue but
it giving that mismatch may also extend to this issue...

  when you select memtest from the Grub menu with Secure boot enable you
  get the error of "Bad Shim Signature" I should not need to disable

  other security issues...
