I was answering gentger...@gmail.com and I thought that he/she was booting from an HD. I've installed Linux a dozen times on efi laptops (Gentoo once). I've used live CDs on all of these laptops and I've used grub and efibootmgr for all the installs - and gummiboot for some - and I've only hit this error once, on an install, because I was messing around with grub.cfg and didn't load efi_gop.mod and efi_uga.mod. I don't know how the other boot loaders/managers handle video but AFAIK none of them have modules so it must be built-in.
