Have a project that I've maintained since 2004. Have a simple process to add it to the regular grub boot list using the 40_custom with the following lines.menuentry G4L { linux /bz5x13.14 root=/dev/ram0 initrd /ramdisk.lzma } Just copy the kernel and ramdisk.lzma to /boot and it becomes an option in the grub menu. Just had a use that got 140 new Dell machines, and they seem to no longer support any bios boot?? So, EFI is the only option. Have the EFI kernel options set, but haven't found info on how to make an efi boot. I've looked, but I've not seen anything. Did find one page that talks about just copying kernel files to the efi direct with a minor rename and including System.map file, but doesn't say anything about the filesystem? Anyone know of a web page. Currently, the user is pulling drive out, and connecting it to an older machine to make images.
I'm going to assume that you're saying you work on Ghost for Linux which can BIOS boot and you want to have it work with EFI, but don't know how to set it up.
What do you mean that you have "the EFI kernel options set"? Are you referring to the kernel compile options? If you have that, then it should be ready. You don't need any specific filename and I don't think you need the System.map file. If you are booting in EFI mode, grub will automatically do an efi boot of the kernel. However, unless you're signing the kernel and have added the keys, you will need to disable secure boot.
Do an EFI install of Fedora to see how it's all laid out. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
