I want this change to succeed but I'm experiencing a regression, and while trying to troubleshoot it I'm finding it difficult to understand the myriad differences: - I can't find the code. I assume all of it is in grub as blscfg.mod and grub2-mkconfig and its associated scripts in /etc/grub.d but I'm not seeing code or code reference in the change or here https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/grub2-efi-x64-modules/ - I can't find any documentation. In particular documentation that explains how it differs from upstream logic and what files the user should be interacting with to do typical tasks (typical for those who tend to interact with the bootloader which should be a minority of user); I know those differences are really substantial, not least of which is how to change boot parameters. This is important because there's a lot of grub2 documentation in Fedora and outside Fedora, all of which conflicts with this feature. And Fedora's experts in QA and those who interface with user as volunteer support agents, will need to thoroughly understand the change, otherwise I'm concerned the common advice will become "reinstall" or even just disable this feature. -How does the blscfg module find /boot/loader/entries? Is this path hard wired somehow? I've got three different installations, all three have identical grub environment variables shown by "set" command, and yet one of the installations doesn't find /boot/loader/entries so the only menu entry is to enter firmware. - Is upstream expected to eventually accept this change? Have they given feedback on the change? Are there any other distributions planning on adopting it, maybe downstreams of ostree? -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
