This eems unrelated.  The problem sounds like GRUB and its modules
aren=E2=80=99t found for some reason.

I reconfigured a workstation yesterday and also saw this line.  It does
look like an error, but it seems to be completely harmless.  I could
boot juts fine.  I suppose that=E2=80=99s just the part where new service
definitions are loaded.

The problem you=E2=80=99re seeing is unrelated to this output.
