Bug#714101: load_video loads modules absent from the EFI version

Package: grub-common
Version: 2.00-14
Severity: normal

  Hello,

  Upon startup, grub complains about missing files 'error file not
found'. While this got me quite worried the first time it showed up,
it doesn't prevent from booting, which is quite great.

  After poking out with the configuration files, I found out that the
load_video common function tries to load three modules that are absent
(at least from the EFI version):

ieee1275_fb
vbe
vga

  Cheers,

        Vincent
