As part of my work on FreeBSD (re)-integration, I would like to pull in some code from the FreeBSD loader for GELI volumes. Specifically, there were some changes a while back that did things like store keys and check new volumes against the cached keys. I also noticed when I looked at the current

LI code in from the FreeBSD loader, as it's structured to do that (the current implementation has some issues as well: it leaves key material on the stack). On 4/5/20 5:10 PM, e...@metricspace.net wrote: > From: Eric McCorkle > > Fixes GRUB with FreeBSD to pass EFI frame buffer

Re: Patch to add newer i386 modinfo types

Here's a first attempt at a patch that adds the code necessary to pass the EFI framebuffer info into the FreeBSD kernel. I have tested this successfully on real hardware. On 4/4/20 6:57 PM, Eric McCorkle wrote: > I'm working on trying to get GRUB to properly set up the EFI framebuff

Patch to add newer i386 modinfo types

I'm working on trying to get GRUB to properly set up the EFI framebuffer info for the freebsd kernel. This is a patch to one of the includes that adds updates the modinfo types to match the FreeBSD kernel sources. Hopefully the EFI framebuffer patch will come shortly. --- include/grub/i386/freebs

FreeBSD support

Hi all, I finally got a chance to resume work on FreeBSD support recently. Here's where things are: * I can boot on an EFI platform, however, the efifb driver never turns the screen on, so the screen is blank until the X11 DRM driver takes over (I know why this is, see below) * grub_install does

FreeBSD port work

Hi folks, I've been doing some work to refurbish the FreeBSD port, and I may take over maintaining it. I also want to modify GRUB to pass GELI keys into the kernel using the newer keybuf mechanism, but that's later (I posted about this a while back). Attached are some quick-and-dirty patches I c

Integrating a FreeBSD/GELI change

Hello, I've been working on a series of changes designed to expand FreeBSD's full-disk encryption support via GELI (its preferred disk encryption mechanism). One of the important parts of this landed in HEAD last night: https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd/commit/6a205a32527153697eb4df4114ff0cd3c7
