>> Kernels that use u-boot (direct), abootimg, piboot will have to stay as they are - unless they gain zboot image format boot support.
Hello Dimitri, zboot kernels are regualr EFI binaries. Where did you see problems in booting them with U-Boot's bootefi command? Best regards Heinrich -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2002226 Title: Add support for kernels compiled with CONFIG_EFI_ZBOOT Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in grub2-unsigned package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: [Impact] Arm64 kernels compiled with CONFIG_EFI_ZBOOT=y don't use the ARM64_IMAGE_MAGIC ('ARM\x64') but LINUX_PE_MAGIC (0x818223cd) in the PE Header. Our GRUB fails to boot such a kernel. We should eliminate the following check: grub-core/loader/efi/linux.c:75: if (lh->magic != GRUB_LINUX_ARCH_MAGIC_SIGNATURE) return grub_error(GRUB_ERR_BAD_OS, "invalid magic number"); This will allow any EFI binary to be run using the linux command.
