package: grub2-common
severity: grave
Version: 2.02~beta2-22+deb8u1
After installing debian 8.5 jessie, I installed Windows. It removed grub from
mbr, so booted into rescue mode using the same cd 1 image, but grub-install
failed with this error.
grub-install: error /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/modinfo.sh doesn't exist. Please
specify --target --directory.
Same error when manually run
# chroot /target
# grub-install /dev/sda
I can see /usr/lib/grub/x86_64-efi/modinfo.sh present instead.
When I run
grub-install -d /usr/lib/grub/x86_64-efi /dev/sda
I get the following error
grub-install: error: cannot find EFI directory
After mounting efi partition
/dev/sda4 under /mnt and passing --efi-directory /mnt
The command succeeded and I could boot into debian after going to boot menu and
choosing debian.

That happened because the rescue system was booted in BIOS mode rather
than in UEFI mode. If it had been booted in UEFI mode, then
grub-install would have done the right thing.
