Dear Maintainer,

When the installer is booted in (U)EFI mode, the $prefix is
/boot/grub/x86_64-efi/. As a result, all modules fail to load,
as grub2 expects them to be in $prefix/x86_64-efi.

I solved it by changing $prefix to /boot/grub and loading all the modules
manully.

I think the $prefix should be set to /boot/grub by default.

Thanks for having taken the time to report this issue with UEFI in
Debian 7 ("Wheezy").

During last years, UEFI support has improved and we believe this bug is
likely to be solved in the current stable version of Debian 8 ("Jessie")
or in the upcoming Debian Stretch.

I'm thus closing this bug report. If you can reproduce this issue with
Debian 8 installer[1] or better with the release candidate installer for
the upcoming Debian Stretch[2], please file a new bug report.

Thanks again for your contribution!
