Hello,
I wanted to boot my servers natively, from UEFI, instead of BIOS
compatibility mode. I wanted to use GRUB for that, but found out GRUB2
in PLD lacks EFI support.
First I have updated out grub2.spec from version 1.99 to 2.00, then
I have started adding EFI support. For that I have removed some patches
that were moving grub installed files from /boot/grub/${platform} to /lib.
That was IMHO wrong because:
1. only one platform could be installed (PC in this case, so no place
for EFI)
2. the /boot partition would be cluttered with GRUB modules even if the
GRUB bootloader was not actually installed (via grub-install).
I have finally managed to boot my server from this new grub2 package,
both in legacy BIOS mode and via UEFI, but the changes I have introduced
could potentially break some existing installations.
Anybody using GRUB2, please test the new grub2-2.00-0.1 package.
I'm using grub2 but some old version from RCD because new packages from
TH won't fit into my MBR.
I have compared grub2-2.00-3 and Ubuntu grub-2.0 and almost all modules
in PLD are bigger:
module,PLD,Ubuntu
ext2.mod,7608bytes,5784bytes
lvm.mod,6760bytes,6296bytes
msdospart,2956bytes,2412bytes
Anyone have idea why?
