i paste last part of installer syslog below(complete syslog is too

You can use
https://paste.debian.net for this sort of thing.
I looked in your syslog for where grub installed and didn't find it. If
it went to a partition, not the drive itself, that would explain why you
don't see it. If grub was installed, then
cd /var/log/installer/
grep -i grub *
should turn up something like:
syslog:Dec 3 17:45:45 grub-installer: info: Additionally installing shim-signed to go with grub-efi-amd64
syslog:Dec 3 17:45:46 grub-installer: info: Installing grub on '/dev/nvme0n1' syslog:Dec 3 17:45:46 grub-installer: info: grub-install does not support --no-floppy
syslog:Dec 3 17:45:46 grub-installer: info: Running chroot /target grub-install --force "/dev/nvme0n1"
syslog:Dec 3 17:45:46 grub-installer: Installing for x86_64-efi platform. syslog:Dec 3 17:45:46 grub-installer: Installation finished. No error reported.
syslog:Dec 3 17:45:46 grub-installer: info: grub-install ran successfully
What you want to know is where exactly grub was installed. For grub to
boot both operating systems, it should be on the hard drive itself, not
a partition. In this case, /dev/nvme0n1. For SATA disks, it should be
on /dev/sda (assuming that's your boot drive). So not /dev/nvme0n1p3 (or
some such) or /dev/sda4.

Does anybody read signatures any more?
