Does your new BIOS release notes say anything about which version(s) of GRUB it will work with?

I've just looked up your motherboard and found it supports a BIOS/UEFI combo. So the 'BIOS' you've upgraded to is probably using default settings. You should disable 'Secure Boot'.

Thanks for your help. Regarding Secure Boot, it seems my mobo does not support it:

Regarding GRUB, I dont even see the Solaris partition when pressing F11, where I normally choose which partition to boot from. So I can not even reach GRUB.

I booted into Win10 and looked at the disk via "disk manager", and wanted to see if I could mark the Solaris 11 partition as "active", but nope. I dont know what to do. Any suggestions?
