...

It is strange, that this USB key has 2 partitions:

Yes, this is normal. It's a hybrid structure to support installing on USB or on a DVD. And it has to support both UEFI booting and traditional legacy MBR booting. The first partition is for UEFI booting. You will find a file there "/EFI/BOOT/grub.cfg" which points to the file "/boot/x86_64/loader/linux" on the second partition. Basically, grub2-efi searches all partitions for that file. With legacy booting, the MBR bootcode from syslinux looks for that file. It all works well for me on both UEFI systems and legacy booting systems. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
