Package: grub-efi-amd64 Version: 2.02+dfsg1-6 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
I installed a vanilla Debian Testing on XFS on my KVM server. I adjusted the proposed whole disk layout to use XFS instead of ext4 during the installation. I ended up with a eps, XFS and a swap setup, one that worked well with Jessie and Stretch. After finishing the installation, I rebooted and fell back to the Grub cmd prompt. After investigating the issue, I found out that no xfs.mod was loaded. I then manually copied /boot/grub/x86_64-efi to /boot/efi/EFI/debian, since /boot/grub is not accessible at this stage. This worked, my system boots now. I compared this with an identical Stretch setup. In Stretch, everything works fine without a /boot/efi/EFI/debian/x86_64-efi folder. Please notice that this was made in a KVM/UEFI Setup under Stretch. Thank you very much. -- Package-specific info: *********************** BEGIN /proc/mounts /dev/vda2 / xfs rw,relatime,attr2,inode64,noquota 0 0 /dev/vda1 /boot/efi vfat rw,relatime,fmask=0077,dmask=0077,codepage=437,iocharset=ascii,shortname=mixed,utf8,errors=remount-ro 0 0 *********************** END /proc/mounts *********************** BEGIN /boot/grub/grub.cfg # # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE # # It is automatically generated by grub-mkconfig using templates # from /etc/grub.d and settings from /etc/default/grub # ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/00_header ### if [ -s $prefix/grubenv ];
