I unzip and copy all contents of the zip to a FAT32 formatted USB stick. I've used mlabel -i to set the drive label to SYSRECOVERY. I boot up the computer, select EFI: Patriot Memory from the menu, and then it immediately shows the Grub welcome followed by the prefix not set error.I've left it sit there just in case some magic was happening behind the scenes, but stopped it after 30 minutes of waiting.So, yah... that's where it stops. I do not get a Grub prompt. I do not get any other errors... just prefix not set and a halt. There are no terminals opened or started (Ctrl+Alt+F keys).Any ideas? Is it a serious case of PEBKAC? < > Showing 1-9 of 9 comments Jasarien View Profile View Posts 14 Dec, 2013 @ 6:43am Getting the same issue when trying to install on a 2008 Mac Pro. I'm wondering if the Mac's EFI support is not compatible with the UEFI support required? I don't know... Last edited by Jasarien; 14 Dec, 2013 @ 6:43am #1 smaug42 View Profile View Posts 14 Dec, 201

Also affects distribution/package Nominate for series 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.

I think you will have to reinstall Grub. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t... From the Grub prompt issue this command " find /boot/grub/stage1 This will return a location. If you have more than one, select the installation that you want to provide the grub files. Next, THIS IS IMPORTANT, whatever was returned for the find command use it in the next line (you are still at grub>. when you enter the next 3 commands) root (hd?,?) Again use the value from the find command i.e. if find returned (hd0,1) the
