Package: grub-common
Version: 1.99-22.1
Severity: normal
If /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober encounters e.g. Windows (maybe in some other cases)
it generates "chainloader +1" instruction which cannot work on EFI and will
yield "Invalid EFI file path" on boot. An EFI bootloader apparently cannot
chainload a BIOS bootloader at all, OTOH it could be possible to detect EFI
systems and chainload them.
