Package: grub-efi-amd64 Version: 1.99~rc1-3 Tags: patch I tried to get grub-efi-amd64 working on a recent macbook.
It would boot into rescue mode, but trying to insmod anything would
result in error messages like "invalid arch independent EFI magic".
phcoder on #grub produced a patch to grub-install which let me get to a
functional grub shell. (i applied the patch to grub-install, then
re-ran grub-install -- i had to do this while booted in rescue mode from
a d-i CD).
The patch is attached. Thanks to phcoder for finding the problem and
fixing it!
