Maybe I miss something. So, If anyone succe= ssed to boot in Grub + loader.efi combination, please let me know. Strange. The chainloader method works on one of my laptops. It's possible t= hat a patch since then has broken that. I know somebody ported the loader m= enu at some point. Prior to that, it was just a loader shell, and that did w= ork. I'll try updating that laptop and see if it still works.=
