A pacman update today gave me the following warning:
(178/417) upgrading grub
warning: /etc/default/grub installed as /etc/default/grub.pacnew
:: Grub does no longer support side-loading modules when secure boot is
enabled. Thus booting will fail, unless you have an efi executable
'grubx64.efi' with bundled modules.
New optional dependencies for grub

It doesn’t say it’s an error. I’m not sure if its informative or if I need to do something about it. I don’t know what side-loaded modules are, or whether I am using secure boot, but this is a UEFI system. I am not sure where to look for grubx64.efi to see if I already have it. The system is running but now I’m reluctant to reboot in case it fails.
Any info or advice would be appreciated.
