[Bug 2083150] [NEW] loader/efi/peimage.c:829:peimage: cannot load multiple images

[Heinrich Schuchardt]

Public bug reported:

Version: 2.12-5ubuntu5

I am using /usr/lib/grub/riscv64-efi/monolithic/grubriscv64.efi from the
Oracular release.

When executing `linux, initrd, device-tree, boot` I saw an error

    "error: cannot load image."

in the GRUB console.

I enabled debug=all and then it showed more:

loader/efi/peimage.c:829:peimage: cannot load multiple images
error: cannot load image.

Please, do not expect a normal user to know about the debug variable.
The message in /efi/peimage.c should be displayed without debug=peimage.
Please, reconsider debian/patches/peimage-fixup-grub_error-
grub_dprintf.patch. In most of the cases we should keep grub_error.

I do not understand why we error out if the linux command is executed
multiple times. I would expect only the last binary to be loaded and
executed.

Best regards

Heinrich
