  • Description of the issue (ideally so that others can reproduce it):
    I am using latest rear 2.6 version.
    When I am trying to generate the iso image via rear -v mkrescue command,
    I am getting below mentioned error.
grub2-mkstandalone may fail to make a bootable EFI image of GRUB2 (no /usr/*/grub*/x86_64-efi/moddep.lst file)
94419: 2021-04-15 07:33:10.182176622 GRUB2 modules to load: fat part_gpt xfs

Is this related to #2585?

cvijayvinoth commented at 2021-04-15 14:22:

@gdha : No its not related to #2585. On that issue bootable iso image was created. But in this issue, unable to create iso image itself. It is throwing error like this grub2-mkstandalone may fail to make a bootable EFI image of GRUB2 (no /usr//grub/x86_64-efi/moddep.lst file) while running rear -v mkrescue

@cvijayvinoth Can you confirm that grub2-efi-x64-modules package is available on this system?

cvijayvinoth commented at 2021-04-27 14:04:

Sorry Its my mistake. I installed correct package grub2-efi-x64-modules. Thanks for your update.
