Such issues could be caused by bad interaction of commands with the same name in different modules: command.lst: *cat: cat *help: help cat: minicmd help: minicmd Something I noticed is that in grub2-mkimage, --prefix option must come after --memdisk, and --config causes empty $prefix, --compression doesn't seem to do anything, and individually compressing modules works only for some of them. In short, GRUB is a mess (like usual). You might find the following script interesting — it is similar to grub2-mkstandalone, but selective wrt. modules (I still didn't manage to boot Linux in QEMU with EFI firmware, however): https://github.com/mkdesu/liberte/blob/master/src/root/helpers/gen-efi -- Maxim Kammerer Liberté Linux (discussion / support: http://dee.su/liberte-contribute)
