Hi all, I'm working on the exciting and challenging task of installing Gentoo on a new Macbook Pro with grub2 and EFI. I've got things booting, but every time grub complains of many missing commands including search, echo, and most surprisingly '['. It also can't find any modules, and in order to get everything to work I had to specify about 10 modules to be built in using grub2-mkimage. This feels a little suboptimal to me, but I can't figure out where various things need to be for grub to find them happily.
My partition layout at least is simple since I don't plan on dual booting: /dev/sda1: big root partition using ext4 /dev/sda2: 200MB vfat EFI partition, set to bootable (yes this should be sda1: I didn't know you needed an EFI partition until after I had already made the root partition and started installing things. I was able to add this partition later with gparted) Of course I'm using GPT, not MBR. On /dev/sda2 I've got the grub2 image at /EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI as is standard, and I have been mounting /dev/sda2 at /boot/efi. I can put either a grub2 image or a 3.3 kernel with EFI stub support at /EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI and it gets detected just fine, so I'm on the right track. I've tried messing with various permutations of the -p parameter to grub2-mkimage, but haven't gotten anywhere. Right now the *.mod and *.lst files from /usr/lib/grub/x86_64-efi/ can be found at both /boot/grub2/x86_64-efi and /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/. Where is it that they actually should be? Thanks, Julian
