--- Begin Message ---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. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.4.1-wrar-5+ (SMP w/4 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=ru_RU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages grub-common depends on: ii gettext-base 0.18.1.1-9 ii libc6 2.13-34 ii libdevmapper1.02.1 2:1.02.74-4 ii libfreetype6 2.4.9-1 ii libfuse2 2.9.0-5 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.7.dfsg-13 Versions of packages grub-common recommends: ii os-prober 1.53 Versions of packages grub-common suggests: ii desktop-base 7.0.0 pn grub-emu <none> pn multiboot-doc <none> pn xorriso <none> -- Configuration Files: /etc/grub.d/40_custom changed [not included] -- no debconf information

Sorry for my delay in responding to this bug. This was fixed just before the wheezy release: grub2 (1.99-27.1) unstable; urgency=medium * NMU * Add entries for Windows Boot Manager found via UEFI in os-prober. Closes: #698914 before the Wheezy release. -- Steve McIntyre <93...@debian.org> Fri, 26 Apr 2013 23:53:34 +0100 Thanks, -- Colin Watson [cjwat...@debian.org]
