Error whet try to make an UEFI ISO image

[gmstyle]

genisoimage: option '-e' is ambiguous; possibilities: '--eltorito-boot' '--exchange' '--ethershare' '--exclude-list' '--exclude' '--eltorito-catalog' '--eltorito-alt-boot'
Usage: genisoimage [options] -o file directory ...

this meaasage appears when try to make the iso UEFI bootable. Any solution?

thanks

You can use the following workaround to make a wrapper of genisoimage:

An iso was created but is empty (34,8 kB) Any solution?

Seems like the efi.img is not located under extracted/boot/grub/. Can you please find it? it should be somewhere inside the extracted directory. Also, can you provide more info about your host system and target iso?
