--directory and --target are mutually exclusive and normally none is
needed - grub-install will autodetect current platform. Only if you
want to install GRUB for platform different from current (e.g. install
GRUB for EFI while running in legacy BIOS mode).

--target means use modules from standard system-wide location and is
normally used after grub is installed. --directory overrides module
location and is usually used before installation.

grub-install detects which drivers are needed to access
--boot-directory and adds them to core.img. When using grub-mkimage
directly it is up to you to specify correct drivers.

Can't help you here, sorry.
