Package: grub-efi-amd64
Version: 1.99-27+deb7u2
Severity: minor
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
Installation of LMDE (based upon debian testing),
on a preinstalled win8 machine with uefi boot.
errors on boot, in the end the message booting anyway
(file not found, mode not supported)
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Solution:
outcomment
insmod vga
insmod vbe
and replace with
insmod efi_gob
insmod efi_uga
insmod font
Change the resolution to a higher one in grub.cfg (for the mode not supported)
* What was the outcome of this action?
no visible errors on boot
This could be a single case, but could it be that vga en vbe should not be present
by default in the grub.cfg for efi version of grub.
mvg,
Wim Bertels
