Users should be able to change their boot-mode in the bios, and the system should come up cleanly (and with the same kernel-version as with the other boot-mode) (currently changing boot-modes with p-b-t requrires booting from a live-CD) patch 3 drops systemd-boot and uses grub for both boot-modes, hopefully unifying the boot-experience and causing less confusion (currently I suggest to look at the screen while booting to find out which boot-loader is used) (Sadly systemd-boot (which I would prefer, justifiably) won't get support for legacy boot) * patch 1/5 renames a config-file (forgotten during the pve-efiboot->proxmox-boot rename) * sending as RFC - since it's really just and idea (and I'm not sure it won't cause even more confusion/breakage in practice) * very roughly tested on 2 VMs (manually reformatting the ESP to clean out systemd-boot) - both booted fine when changing their BIOS mode as is it's definitely missing: * a plan for transitioning current systems * cleanup of the code (the changes are minimal for a POC) * updated documentation * quite a bit more testing (especially on real hardware) Stoiko Ivanov (5): rename pve-efiboot-manual-kernels to proxmox-boot-manual-kernels proxmox-boot: add reinit subcommand proxmox-boot: keep EFI and legacy bootloaders in sync proxmox-boot: use grub for UEFI boot proxmox-boot: install grub in esp/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI bin/grub-install-wrapper | 19 +------- bin/proxmox-boot-tool | 68 +++++++++++++++++++--------- debian/pve-kernel-helper.postinst | 4 ++ proxmox-boot/functions | 2 +- proxmox-boot/zz-proxmox-boot | 73 +++++-------------------------- 5 files changed, 64 insertions(+), 102 deletions(-) -- 2.30.2
