I've installed the current version of Ventoy on a USB thumb drive, leaving about 40GB space free at the end.
I created 3 additional partitions in the free space, FAT32 for ` /GRUB/grubx64.efi `, a swap partition, then a single ext4 partition to install Linux (grub, EFI mode).
Then I added a ` /ventoy/ventoy_grub.cfg ` grub configuration file to use under the [F6] key option in Ventoy.
Everything works as expected except one small issue. I've tested the USB in vbox on Linux, and booted directly on my EFI HP pc. Similar results are the [F6] key does not bring up a boot menu if Ventoy is started in EFI mode.
When starting Ventoy in MBR mode, the [F6] grub menu shows up, Ventoy themed, and the Linux OS boots and runs well.
Is there a solution for this? All my computers are EFI except one old box I still have available.
Also, how would I manually add my ` ventoy_grub.cfg ' entries directly to Ventoys grub menu, to eliminate having to use [F6].
