Details:

I'm using using a legacy BIOS boot iso as a starting point to create a dual
BIOS/UEFI boot iso using grub-mkimage (details at the bottom).

Using grub-2.00, the CD burnt from the iso will legacy BIOS boot without
problems. The UEFI boot appears to succeed - the linux command prompt appears
- but the keyboard is unresponsive.

Using grub-2.02~beta, the CD burnt from the iso will legacy BIOS boot without
problems. The UEFI boot stops at the grub command prompt. If I enter
linux.../initrd.../boot manually, the boot does not complete. If I burn a cd
with the grub modules included under /EFI/BOOT/grub/x86_64-efi, then the linux
command prompt appears, but the keyboard is unresponsive.
