Hi, Konstantin

In OMV there is quite different approach to EFI. 
Bero did it, and also it was tested.

This adapted patch is not about to fix this current one issue, but to help 
diagnose what may be wrong :)

Thanks for your attention, and yes I'm aware that Rosa effort to support EFI 
was really huge. I think we need to check our approach.

  Hi, Tomasz.

Not exactly. Indeed, most known EFI installation problems have been fixed by 
now 
in ROSA, but the patch you mentioned only copies the grub.cfg file into the EFI 
partition, and also fixes error message reporting (the "ioctl error" message is 
not correct, it was always displayed like that, no matter what the real problem 
had been). But this is not enough for EFI support. The correct procedure is 
calling grub2-efi-install while the EFI partition is mounted into /boot/efi. 
Actually, the "main" patch for EFI support is this:
https://abf.rosalinux.ru/soft/draklive-install/commit/c0b1cafc5786e6b371bd6b377fa3ad760038a704
But there were many other pathes, concerning both EFI and non-EFI scenarios.

I'd recommend to backport from ROSA into OM some of the recent patches from the 
following projects: drakxtools, draklive-install, grub2, os-prober. I'm not 
sure 
if I can pinpoint exactly what shoud be ported (it requires detailed comparison 
between the OM and ROSA codebases), but if you have any questions about my 
patches I'll try to be of help. (I'm captainflint on ABF.)
