Hi all. I'm working on bug #8729 and I'm trying to implement the multi-boot functionality for grub.
I've partially done and I've created a virtual/grub-bootconf that can be used like that: PREFERRED_RPROVIDER_virtual/grub-bootconf = "grub-multibootconf" That's working ok and installs the proper grub cfg script and the environment files used for the boot counter and other stuff. The problem is that I've just hit the wall because it seems there are two different facilities that create the grub config file. One is the grub-efi & virtual/grub-bootconf. But when an wic image is build then this is overridden and a new partition is created which is also mounted in the /boot when the OS boots. The second facility is triggered by setting this in the wks file: --source bootimg-efi --sourceparams="loader=grub-efi" In this case the bootimg-efi.py script creates the extra partition, a different grub.cfg and also edits the /etc/fstab and mounts this partition over /boot and therefore virtual/grub-bootconf becomes unused. This raises the following questions: - Why there are two different facilities to achieve the same thing? - Why the second overrides the first one, instead of sharing the same files? - How to proceed from now on? In my opinion there should be only one facility that creates this and there should be a common shared way for all the use cases. I have a working example if anyone is interested. Regards, Dimitris
