Why not? It has nothing to do which filesystem /boot uses.
the generator isn't a problem, I was commenting on the "simplest" part. You still need a shim loader there, since an EFI-stubed kernel can't be signed by UEFI Signing Service (I'm not discussing signing a kernel yourself or injecting its key into EFI firmware). > > And it will > > force most (if not all) distributions to probably "patch" (or disable) > > this generator so it behave as it is expected by them (ie /boot/efi). > > If you would have read the code or the commit or the wiki page, you > would have noticed that the generator never gets active in any other > setup. I read the code before commenting, and I noticed it won't quick in as long as /boot is not empty nor mounted in fstab. But you are still "deviating" from the common practice among distributions and to be useful and work "as expected" on such distributions, this generator should use /boot/efi instead. Obviously, you already made you mind, so I guess it is useless to argue anymore but I doubt it will be of great usage on most distributions. -- Frederic Crozat <fcro...@suse.com> SUSE _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
