Bios version currently: 2.19 (updated yesterday)
Boot Loader: grub2
ii  grub-common                               2.00-19ubuntu2.1
                     amd64        GRand Unified Bootloader (common
files)
ii  grub-efi                                  2.00-19ubuntu2.1
                     amd64        GRand Unified Bootloader, version 2
(dummy package)
ii  grub-efi-amd64                            2.00-19ubuntu2.1
                     amd64        GRand Unified Bootloader, version 2
(EFI-AMD64 version)
ii  grub-efi-amd64-bin                        2.00-19ubuntu2.1
                     amd64        GRand Unified Bootloader, version 2
(EFI-AMD64 binaries)
ii  grub2-common                              2.00-19ubuntu2.1
                     amd64        GRand Unified Bootloader (common

I used all Bios versions starting from at least 2.15 and upgraded when
there was a new one.

Best Regards
