Okay, so I've tried this out and I am having difficulties. GRUB does not seem to be able to access any of the commands in the included modules. When I boot into GRUB, a bunch of errors scrolls past on the screen too quickly to read (though they appear to be about missing commands) and then I end up in the GRUB normal prompt. I've using the exact same configuration file that I'm using with grub-mkimage, except it doesn't work this time. I recall seeing something a while ago saying that modules are not automatically loaded when using grub-mkstandalone. If that's the case, then how would I activate them? When I get dropped into the prompt and type something like `insmod linux` it responds by saying that the module Linux was not found, even though I gave the command for it to be included. I've attached my grub.cfg file that I'm using. Perhaps someone could advise me as to what I'm doing wrong? For reference, here's the exact command I'm using: ../grub-mkstandalone -d . -o ~/Desktop/boot.efi --format=x86_64-efi - --install-modules="boot linux ext2 normal configfile lspci ls loadenv help echo fat exfat hfs hfsplus part_msdos part_gpt part_apple multiboot multiboot2 terminal sleep loopback normal fixvideo iso9660 loadbios setvariable applesetos" /boot/grub/fonts/myfont.pf2='/boot/grub/fonts/unicode.pf2' /boot/grub/grub.cfg='/home/user/Desktop/grub.cfg' > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.14 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJTghppAAoJEFbRvtGxmFPEmTAIALePoXE5Dgm1MQXuDAvZdgCN 6BeUA8HuHQ/caoQbZuG800SPhDiZ9acOSMIGGAyISOzjN+gwJ7iPNp7U563QfuVs 81AwstHvmRtHW1aLbSXVy+/VaZCTMvrKk3y+h2jyCuSh71cwBAkYBgqG5vmHcekw k/vmhaMNOPeVnUFMZ5T51vqkn3UrPMAVjdT9ZxvIhYlfOJDRPbiqg1UtUnVZsyAi 9Bnlf3//VZ9pVjbx6mCUD+D2Q6/J2Rms+qxx3eOcjlw9J1UOdtnfmfchsGBdT+fU ZYjY9Nxblis4uzIRNmmacUpEX+gHfltRORa2YMurMzect6lUwBrXLtDjv1c5ziU= =Ke0N -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
