If you could use grub-install then it should have copied all the modules to your EFI partition. But if you moved the grub.efi or created it yourself then you need to copy *.mod *.lst yourself to the place where grub.efi is. Or in grub console check with `set' the prefix and change it if needed. Maybe there's something useful for you in the GRUB wiki: http://grub.enbug.org/TestingOnEFI http://grub.enbug.org/TestingOnMacbook We added now to our Debian SVN trunk a grub-efi-ia32 package and grub-efi-amd64 both avaible on i386 and amd64 -- Felix Zielcke -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
