Why are you using grub? The EFI firmware already includes a boot manager which lets you select either Windows or Debian. You don't need grub.Marco– Marco2012-09-16 20:16:32 +00:00Commented Sep 16, 2012 at 20:16

@Marko thank you for the information, I didn't know of such a possibility and it's useful, but 1) building kernel and a newer one than even in the testing Debian distro just isn't the "Debian" reliable way, I suppose :) 2) I've spent with the Wheezy/Grub2/EFI mix so much time that we became somewhat close (if u know what I mean)) and I want to finish the loader with my own two hands) it's also interesting; 3) now that both systems are bootable and working it seems too dangerous to tinker with them on the level you're talking aboutalexey– alexey2012-09-17 12:34:52 +00:00Commented Sep 17, 2012 at 12:34

2) This combination and the hours spend on Grub2/EFI was what made me eventually drop Grub. The boot process is faster and easier maintainable with just one boot manager (UEFI). 3) If you have a backup and a bootable USB drive what can happen in the worst case? Good luck!Marco– Marco2012-09-17 13:00:20 +00:00Commented Sep 17, 2012 at 13:00

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. shell-script), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
