On an arch(EFI) virtual guest machine I am getting some errors (the system boots normally though).
First error is possibly nothing: just the virtual cd/dvd drive not having anything mounted
Boot Failed. EFI DVD/CDROM
Welcome to GRUB!
Then I get the GRUB menu and after that I get the following screen:
Booting 'Arch Linux'
error: no symbol table.
Loading Linux linux ...
Loading initial ramdisk ...
Press any key to continue...
The system then boots up normally without any keypress.
Running grub-install did not fix the error:
grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=grub_uefi --recheck
Any ideas?

I get a very similar problem but I am on a GPT table. Just did a new arch install yesterday so I suppose it is a bug in a recent grub update.

@robt77
The instructions you have given are for a MBR setup which the OP doesn't have.
They are using UEFI which means that the command they used was correct.

In my case I am using a GPT based drive (ssd), wiki guide is not that clear on gpt instructions. I simply created required partition and filesystem and installed grub to it (maybe wrongly)

Also suffering from this one on baremetal, MBR.
Any fixes found yet? It doesn't look like a bug is opened on the tracker yet, is there one?

Please don't necrobump: open a thread and detail your setup, configs etc
