core.img isn't static; it depends on your system.  What modules are
built into core.img in your case?  There's unfortunately no way to
interrogate an existing image that I know of, but if you figure out the
appropriate grub-install command and then run this:

  grub-install --debug $wherever_grub_should_be_installed 2>&1 | grep grub-mkimage

... then that should tell you.
