Re: UEFI installation upload4 with LVM and crypt

[Ryan Morillo <ryan.morillo@rackspace.com>]

Hello Steve,
Yes, the first part is after the install, the modules are on the disk,  
they just aren't populated into the grub.cfg.  The load_video function not  
being used is a bit beyond my understanding, the function is listed, but I  
don't know where/how it would be called, so I just insmoded them inline.

Thanks for your work, good stuff other than those couple of  
inconvieniences.
