Re: GRUB: error: file `/efi/EFI/grub/x86_64-efi/normal.mod` not found

what tutorial did you follow to get that grub install command ?

strait away i can see that '--boot-directory=/boot/efi/EFI ' is wrong and generally doesnt even need to be set as boot is normally '/boot', and '--efi-directory=/boot/efi' should be wherever you mounted your EFI partition, and you missed out '--target=x86_64-efi' as well.

please follow this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GRUB
