[Bug 632775] Re: grub-install (EFI) is not properly setting the prefix

[Ajeet]

Any fix for Natty? I encountered the issue on physical hardware during
UEFI mode selection with the same error :

error: "prefix" is not set

Title:
  grub-install (EFI) is not properly setting the prefix

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “grub2” source package in Maverick:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: grub2

  This is a breakout from bug 632642.

  The EFI grub-install is not properly setting up prefix and root.  When
  booted into the EFI system partition, grub starts to load but shows:

  error: unknown filesystem.
  grub rescue>

  Checking the contents of the variables :

  prefix was set to (hd1,gpt1)/boot/grub
  and root was set to hd1,gpt1

  I think these should both be (hd1,gpt2) and hd1,gpt2 respectively
  since the modules and conffile do not live on the EFI system
  partition.
