Hi,
I encountered an error when installing grub 2.00 on my Linux system(boot from EFI BIOS), the error showed “source_dir doesn't exist. Please specify --target or -directory”
The error occurred after I run this command:
#grub-install -boot-directory=/boot /dev/sda
Is there anyone encountered the similar error and have a solution to it?
Regards，
Sun Ning

On EFI just run grub-install with no options, it finds /boot/efi/EFI and if necessary creates /boot/efi/EFI/grub and puts grubx64.efi there, and also writes an entry in NVRAM so it should get used by default instead of gummiboot.

Same message printed on the screen when just run grub-install, suspect it is grub 2.0 bug or defect….

No, you just didn't install the right flavour of GRUB. You forgot to
install grub-efi-amd64

grub-devel is for discussion related to the development of GNU GRUB,
not user support. Please send support questions to help-grub@gnu.org
instead.
