Bug#561933: grub-efi-amd64: grub-mkimage fails with error: no symbol table

[Jonas Smedegaard]

Package: grub-efi-amd64
Severity: important

Mounting the EFI partition of a MacBook 5,2 onto /boot and then invoking
grub-install fails with the following:

grub-mkimage: error: no symbol table

Running with bash -x reveals that it is the following command that
fails:

/usr/sbin/grub-mkimage --output=/boot/grub/grub.efi fat part_gpt

I suspect that output of above command, even if succeeding, would fail
to work due to not including modules like configfile and linux, but that
is another topic which is hopefully moot when this bug is fixed and I
can move on to actually test it.


Kind regards,
