grub-mkstandalone always includes all modules in the image, adding a --modules argument to grub-mkstandalone should never be needed. All that will do is preload those modules, which in addition to being unnecessary can sometimes cause problems. I would remove the --modules argument entirely (it shouldn't generally be used with grub-install either). Additionally, you might want to look into using grub-install with the "--removable" argument which will install grub in such a way that the drive can be removed and used in another [U]EFI machine without modifying EFI variables (and in addition, it doesn't modify EFI variables on the system on which it is run, and does not require any EFI services). All that said, what you're doing should still work. Since it doesn't, please file a bug report at https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?group=grub . By the way, I did not Cc [email protected] since I wasn't sure if they / you wanted to be Ccd in this discussion. If you'd like to forward it to them or if you'd like me to keep them Ccd on further replies that's fine with me. -- Jordan Uggla (Jordan_U on irc.freenode.net) _______________________________________________ Help-grub mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-grub
