Requesting help with (maybe) unusual usage #5

Hi there

first of all - in my opinion you created a great tool here!

My bosses also mentioned this and have the idea to run a python script before booting windows in uefi-mode.

I got the mission to realise this - and i´m failing. But maybe you can give me an hint.....

Thats what I tried until today:

I´ve created an debian based minimalistic USB-Stick. Unfortunately debian uses GRUB 2.02 and your files aren´t compatible. (I get the message error: symbol 'grub_isprint' not found. which means that the grub-version doesnt match)

So I purged grub* from the stick, cloned your repository and compiled the same grub version you use.

My idea was to boot from the stick and install grub on the existing uefi-partition (via grub-install /dev/sda --directory=biosbits/grub-core --recheck --force). This is working so far. But when I overwrite or swap the files in /boot with your files I get again this error: symbol 'grub_isprint' not found...

What i´m doing wrong?

Thank you in forward!

edit I forgot - your guide for installing via Syslinux doesn´t work in my case. I tryed to install it in the EFI-Partition but Windows is booting straight trough...
