Hello All, I have a question about grub-mkstandalone. Perhaps this is a Debian question but I thought I would start here. I am running version 2.02~beta2-22+deb8u1. I've been staring at the man page as well as digging through the help-grub archive and I can't seem to figure out how to do this right. I have been using pxelinux for some time so PXE / TFTP booting is not new for me, except for the UEFI / GRUB2 part.
I am trying to make a standalone GRUB UEFI file for PXE booting with the command below. The grub.cfg file I am trying to use is specific for my PXE boot. cd /home/dan/pxebuild/ grub-mkstandalone -d /usr/lib/grub/x86_64-efi/ -O x86_64-efi --fonts="unicode" -o bootx64.efi grub.cfg I then copy the output bootx64.efi to my tftp server and my laptop successfully loads the file via UEFI Onboard NIC(IPV4). When I PXE boot the file it just brings me to a prompt 'grub> '. If I type in 'ls (memdisk)/' I can see the grub.cfg file right there and I can load it with 'configfile (memdisk)/grub.cfg'. I would prefer to just have the grub.cfg file load automatically but I can't seem to tell 'grub-mkstandalone' to place the grub.cfg file in the correct path '(memdisk)/boot/grub/grub.cfg'. If I move my real /boot/grub/grub.cfg file out of the way temporarily and place my PXE grub.cfg file in it's place everything PXE boots as I expect. mv /boot/grub/grub.cfg /boot/grub/grub.cfg.orig cp /home/dan/pxebuild/grub.cfg /boot/grub/grub.cfg grub-mkstandalone -d /usr/lib/grub/x86_64-efi/ -O x86_64-efi --fonts="unicode" -o bootx64.efi /boot/grub/grub.cfg rm /boot/grub/grub.cfg mv /boot/grub/grub.cfg.orig /boot/grub/grub.cfg I would rather not do the extra steps and was hoping I am just doing something wrong.
