So, I've made some progress getting Debian booting on my old Mac Pro. Right now, here's the hang-up and I'm not sure how to proceed.
I'm using rEFInd to choose what to boot. It finally finds my Debian installed grub efi image, however, there's something wrong in a path and it dumps me at grub-rescue. Essentially, the problem there is that the directory to the modules it needs to load is lacking a /. When I land in grub-rescue this is my prefix: (hd1,gpt1)boot/grub It complains it cannot find insmod normal to continue. If I set prefix to this: (hd1,gpt1)/boot/grub then 'insmod normal' and normal work and dump me at a grub prompt. I haven't yet succeeded in booting the system from that grub prompt either, but I'm hoping that if this prefix is corrected, maybe it'll work. I continue to boot using the supergrub cdrom, telling it to find grub.cfg, then selecting my kernel. I used to have to edit that text, but now I don't need to. Updating to grub-efi in sid seemed to fix something. Any guidance on correcting prefix or other tips to get this working would be great.
