Description:

In the script grub-mkconfig the variable GRUB_PREFIX is hard coded to /boot/grub. For BIOS installations this will usually be true. However for UEFI installations this will usually not be true and causes a number of issues, for example grub ends up trying to insmod vga and vbe, which results in two "error: file not found" lines on boot as these are BIOS modules in /boot/grub listed in /boot/grub/video.lst. The correct modules are efi_* in the efi directory listed in video.lst in the same directory.

Additional info:
* Package version: 1.99-5

Steps to reproduce:

Install grub2-efi-x86_64. /sbin/grub-mkconfig GRUB_PREFIX references /boot/grub
