2024-04-19configs/: replace archisodevice boot parameter with archisosearchuuidnl6720
`archisosearchuuid=` first searches for a matching UUID. If that fails, then it mounts and looks for a `/boot/${archisosearchuuid}.uuid` file in all detected block devices (in whatever order `blkid` lists them). This implements "file system transposition" without relaying on boot loader specific features and does not tie us to GRUB anymore. Related to https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/mkinitcpio/mkinitcpio-archiso/-/merge_requests/48 Fixes https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/archiso/-/issues/217
2024-04-19configs/releng/: use mkinitcpio's microcode hook instead of external ↵nl6720
microcode images This simplifies boot loader configuration, but custom PXE setups will be forced to update theirs. Implements https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/archiso/-/issues/226
2023-09-28Add configs/*/grub/loopback.cfgnl6720
See https://www.supergrubdisk.org/wiki/Loopback.cfg for details. Only `${iso_path}` is guaranteed, so we need to search for the volume, on which the ISO file resides, ourselves. Implements https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/archiso/-/issues/165
2023-09-28configs/*/grub/grub.cfg: do not hardcode the architecture and platformnl6720
Construct a human readable platform identifier from GRUB's built-in variables and use it in menu item descriptions. Only add the menu entries for the additional tools (UEFI shell, Memtest86+) if the files exist. Modify baseline's `grub.cfg` to closer match releng.
2023-09-28configs/releng/grub/grub.cfg: play init tune at the endnl6720
Move the `play` command to the end of the file so it plays after the menu entries are shown and ready.
2023-09-28configs/*/grub/grub.cfg: rearrange module loadingnl6720
* Do not manually load modules that will get loaded by invoking a command. * Explicitly load serial modules. * Move `insmod all_video` after the font is loaded.
2023-05-14Added classes for Memtest86+ and UEFI Shell menuentriesAntonio V
2023-02-27Use console as grub's terminal_outputDavid Runge
configs/{baseline,releng}/grub/grub.cfg: Use `console` as grub's `terminal_output`, as with `gfxterm` only a blank screen is shown on some hardware. Fixes #212
2023-02-24configs/*/grub/grub.cfg: replace /dev/disk/by-uuid/ with UUID=nl6720
Use the shorter and more nicer looking `UUID=` *tags* instead of the `/dev/disk/by-uuid/` paths. This requires mkinitcpio-archiso v68. Related to #202
2023-02-24Move the .uuid file to /boot/grub/YYYY-mm-dd-HH-MM-SS-00.uuidnl6720
To prevent the file from being accidentally missed when someone copies the ISO's contents, let's not place it in a directory that starts with a dot. Since all GRUB related files are in /boot/grub/, put it there too. Instead of using a more unique UUID for the file name, use `YYYY-mm-dd-HH-MM-SS-00.uuid` which matches the ISO's modification date in UTC,i.e. its "UUID". If multiple ISOs would be generated in the exact same second, the ISO 9660 modification date (i.e. its "UUID") would be the same, so there would be not way to distinguish between the volumes anyway. This also makes the file look less suspicious to the casual glance.
2023-02-22configs/*/grub/grub.cfg: reuse ARCHISO_HINT and ARCHISO_UUID passed from the ↵nl6720
embedded grub.cfg The `grub.cfg` embedded in the GRUB binaries already sets `ARCHISO_HINT` and `ARCHISO_UUID` in most cases. To avoid performing the same searches multiple times, use the existing variables.
2023-02-10mkarchiso: do not place memtest86+ in netboot artifactsnl6720
Move memtest86+ to `/boot/memtest86+/` on ISO 9660. That directory is not copied to netboot artifact output. Netboot boot menu https://ipxe.archlinux.org/releng/netboot/archlinux.ipxe does not have entries for memtest and archiso-manager removes these files (not the EFI one, though) before uploading the release files anyway.
2023-02-02Preload GRUB's NTFS, exFAT and UDF modulesnl6720
There are claims that some UEFI allegedly natively support NTFS. Preload the required GRUB modules to support booting from NTFS on such systems. Additionally preload the exFAT and UEF modules, because, why not?
2023-02-02configs/*/grub/grub.cfg: search for a .uuid file in /.disk/ and use the ↵nl6720
volume it's on Search for `/.disk/%UUID_SEARCH_FILENAME%.uuid` and pass the UUID of the volume it's on as `archisodevice`. mkarchiso will replace `%UUID_SEARCH_FILENAME%` with a hardcoded value generated using `SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH` durring ISO build. This allows to prepare an UEFI bootable installation medium by simply copying the directory structure without having to touch `grub.cfg`. Relying on the volume UUID instead of its LABEL also avoids collisions of multiple ISOs created in the same month. Fixes #202
2022-12-03Add Memtest86+ to x86_64 UEFI GRUB boot menuJonathan Liu
Implements #203.
2022-06-26configs/*/grub/grub.cfg: enable serial input and outputnl6720
Try to initialize a serial device and use it for input and output. Add more comments to grub.cfg to explain what is done. Related to #75
2022-06-23configs/*/grub/grub.cfg: auto-boot after 15 secondsnl6720
* Set the default boot entry and its timeout. * Add classes to menu entries to allow theming them. Fixes #179
2022-06-18change grub init tuneAlexander Epaneshnikov
yes it was descriptive but too large. this fixes #180
