Source: linux
Version: 5.9.11-1
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: pkg-grub-de...@alioth-lists.debian.net
Dear Maintainer,
grub-efi-arm:armel package remains almost unusable for very long time.
To boot a kernel in UEFI mode, it must be compiled with CONFIG_EFI.
But no Debian armel kernel (specifically linux-image-marvell or
linux-image-rpi) is built with CONFIG_EFI.
This leaves armel grub-efi-arm package almost useless.
For example, trying to boot linux-image-marvell by grub-efi-arm:armel
shows the following message:
Welcome to GRUB!
error: no suitable video mode found.
Booting `Debian GNU/Linux'
Loading Linux 5.9.0-4-marvell ...
error: plain image kernel not supported - rebuild with CONFIG_(U)EFI_STUB
enabled.
Loading initial ramdisk ...
error: you need to load the kernel first.
On the other hand, grub-efi-arm:armel can boot linux-image-armmp:armhf.
This feature/bug leaves grub-efi-arm:armel almost useless,
so I chose "important" priority.
Best regards, Ryutaroh Matsumoto

Hi
This bug was filed for a very old kernel or the bug is old itself
without resolution.
If you can reproduce it with
- the current version in unstable/testing
- the latest kernel from backports
please reopen the bug, see https://www.debian.org/Bugs/server-control
for details.
