Upgrading Ubuntu Desktop to 23.10 Corrupts the VM

Same here. It seems upgrade to 23.04 worked fine, but then it suggested going to 23.10 and after successful completion and reboot I got the same screen. When you go into boot manager it lists one old kernel (from my previous ubuntu) that does not boot and falls back on this screen.

I have attempted to get this upgrade to work for months and finally got it to work. Somewhat similar to you, I am using Sonoma on an M1 Mac book Pro. I'm using the arm64 variant so perhaps this might help. Try installing "grub-efi-arm64" in 23.04 if not already installed.
I wondered about an EFI boot error I had seen for some time but ignored because everything otherwise seemed to be working fine, but I felt perhaps it was relevant to this issue. I discovered that 'grub-efi-arm64' was not installed in 23.04 - after installing and rebooting I no longer saw the EFI boot error
I tried another upgrade to 23.10, and this time, it worked and booted. (and has booted multiple times since - I had to check

I have the same issue after having done an in-place upgrade from 22.04 to 24.04
And I can't get out of this BIOS screen, any boot option I try goes back to this screen.
Can we fix this? Luckily I have taken a snapshot before upgrading so I can revert but would not if the fix is easy enough

The support investigated about this issue and provieded a fix in
ParallelsDesktop-20.1.0-55732 .
Does it work for you?
Unfortunately, its not working for my Ubuntu, it still does not boot.

FWIW, I usually take a snapshot before starting to upgrade the guest OS. That was also the case with Ubuntu 23.04 -> 23.10. So, by first installing "grub-efi-arm64 " on 23.04, I solved my problem with 23.04 -> 23.10 and finally got 24.04 working, which meant that I had to first roll back by snapshot of 23.04.

In my opinion your answer doesn't get enough credit and I only came across it by leveraging an AI search engine. I spent the better half of Sunday to figure this issue out but came across so many unrelated and unhelpful posts and blogs that I eventually gave up. Then I gave it another go with an AI search engine, came across this thread, tested it right away. I took a snapshot before upgrading to 24.04 and after upgrading but before restart so I restored to the latest point that was still working, installed above-mentioned package, rebooted the VM and with satisfaction noticed that it doesn't boot into EFI anymore. Made my day. Thanks
