grub-mkimage

[Pascal]

hi,
I use grub successfully to boot my removable "UEFI only" roaming live
system.
I use grub-mkimage as follows to generate the EFI executable :

cat > /tmp/cfg <<< "normal /efi/menu.cfg"

grub-mkimage  \
  --disable-shim-lock  \
  -p "(,gpt2)/efi/boot/"  \
  -o /run/live/bootmnt/efi/boot/bootx64.efi  \
  -O x86_64-efi  \
  -c /tmp/cfg  \
  linux normal minicmd gzio efi_uga efi_gop fat part_gpt chain

cat > /run/live/bootmnt/efi/menu.cfg <<~~~~
insmod linux normal minicmd gzio efi_uga efi_gop fat part_gpt
menuentry "My Live Linux" {
        linux …
        initrd …
}
~~~~

the executable being really minimal, I can't do much with it when I
encounter a boot problem.
so, I set up another EFI executable next to it, this time with all the
available modules :

mods=$( ls -1 /usr/lib/grub/x86_64-efi/*.mod | sed -e
's;/usr/lib/grub/x86_64-efi/;;g' -e 's/\.mod$//g' | tr '\n' ' ' )

however, when I choose to boot this one, I get the following error :

error: disk `,gpt2' not found.
error: you need to load the kernel first.

does anyone know why the *minimal* is fully functional while the *maximal*
refuses to consider (,gpt2)/efi/boot/ ?
