Re: Dell BIOS issue reading Disk Extended data

This should *not* be made default because grub's native drivers don't get very much testing, and they do cause grub to hang on some hardware, but you can likely get around this limitation with: grub-install --target=i386-pc --disk-module native /dev/sdX If you want to test it without installing g

[PATCH 01/12] grub-shell: Allow specifying non-default trim line contents

This will be useful for tests that have unwanted output from setup. This is not documented because its only intended to be internal at the moment. Also, --no-trim is allowed to explicitly turn off trim. Signed-off-by: Glenn Washburn --- tests/util/grub-shell.in | 14 +- 1 file change

[PATCH 02/12] grub-shell: Trim line should always be matched from the beginning of the line

When turning on shell tracing the trim line will be output before we actually want to start the trim. However, in this case the trim line never starts from the beginning of the line. So start trimming from the correct line by matching from the beginning of the line. Signed-off-by: Glenn Washburn

[PATCH 05/12] grub-shell: Put all generated files into working dir and use better file names

When running tests there are many invocations of grub-shell, and because the output files are all random names in the same tmp directory, it becomes more work to figure out which files went with which grub-shell invocations. So all generated files from one invocation of grub-shell are put into a ra

[PATCH 03/12] grub-shell: Only show grub-mkrescue output if it returns an error

The previous behavior ignored an error and the output from grub-mkrescue. This made it a pain to discover that grub-mkrescue was the reason that tests which rely on grub-shell were failing. Even after discovering grub-mkrescue was the culprit, there was no output to indicate why it was failing. I

[PATCH 00/12] Grub-shell improvements

I've extracted this patch series from the GitLab CI patch series, which some minor modifications. Mostly these are improvements to grub-shell to facilitate debugging. The only patch that might be considered a fix, as opposed to an improvement, would be patch #11, which fixes the issue where qemu-m

[PATCH 08/12] tests: Allow turning on shell tracing from environment variables

There are several levels of debug and more may be added. But the qemu head should be one of the highest debug levels. Set debug to a high value of 10 to turn on the head. We do not want to accidentally turn it on when adding a new debug level to the testing system. Signed-off-by: Glenn Washburn -
