Re: [grub] Experiencing difficulties to access USB key files

[Arbiel (gmx)]

Hi

So, I understand nativedisk or installing grub with --disk-module=native
will bypass BIOS and have grub access the hardware using its own
drivers, which I won't have to insert with insmod commands.

It failed as shown at the end of the message

My PC is a BIOS plateforme.

env LANG=all sudo grub-install -V
grub-install (GRUB) 2.02~beta2-9ubuntu1.4

I got a program error :

env LANG=all sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt/boot
--disk-module=native /dev/sdd
grub-install: --disk-module: (PROGRAM ERROR) Option should have been
recognized!?
Try 'grub-install --help' or 'grub-install --usage' for more information.
