It assumes that /boot/grub/grub.cfg (and other design items) is generated by: binary_loopback_cfg . It relies on efi-image and grub-cpmodules being setup as build scripts on live-build package. In the future event of these two files being moved to a binary package (they are originally from: src: live-installer) the binary_grub-efi script would have to be rewritten to take the new paths into account. 2015-08-29T22:04:04+00:00 Adrian Gibanel Lopez adrian.gibanel@btactic.com 2014-12-07T17:20:09+00:00 urn:sha1:b6771e736022d31b0cb53c552a0f7a42a1028a09 Development details -------------------- * This patch has been based originally on: binary_grub2 . It has been improved thanks to some binary_syslinux bits. * This patch ensures that binary_loopback_cfg needs is run before binary_syslinux is run. The reason is that it reuses some code from binary_syslinux to avoid problems when binary_syslinux renames the kernel filenames. * This patch already supports CPU detection * I haven't tested all the possible scenarios for the script (with the latest version). When amd64 and 486 Gnu/Linux flavours is used and the bootloader is syslinux it works ok. * I have not implemented a disable switch for not generating it. Usually you always want loopback.cfg to be there. * Compared to binary_grub2 script I have removed the installation entries because I did not see any of them in binary_syslinux. How to test ----------- These are some steps to easily test if Looback cfg support is working ok. 0) We assume you have generated an iso 1) Make sure you have a partition that Grub understands. Plain ext4 or vfat should do it. 2) Create directory: /boot/boot-isos/ 3) Put the iso file into that directory making sure it has an ISO or iso extension. 4) Setup your computer to boot from cdrom and use: Super Grub2 Disk 2.00s2 (Hybrid version recommended) 5) Choose Boot manually... 6) Choose Bootable ISOs (in /boot- ... ) 7) Choose (the detected) GRUB Loopback Config (hdN,msodsN)/boot/boot-ios/name-of-the.iso 8) You will be presented your loopback.cfg. Choose anyone of the entries (unless it does not match your cpu architecture of course). 9) You should boot into your Debian Live without problems (thanks to findiso boot parametre). If you ever wanted to test from your grub2 installation instead from Super Grub2 Disk check: http://www.supergrubdisk.org/wiki/Loopback.cfg for an example. 2015-05-18T10:38:46+00:00 Daniel Baumann mail@daniel-baumann.ch 2015-05-18T10:38:46+00:00 urn:sha1:1c3891775bbcddfe7ee419e61a83df79037b16aa 2015-05-04T18:33:00+00:00 Daniel Baumann mail@daniel-baumann.ch 2015-05-04T18:33:00+00:00 urn:sha1:f93fa286d5e7348150aab4874794f7d96dac0894 2015-05-03T14:12:30+00:00 Daniel Baumann mail@daniel-baumann.ch 2015-05-03T14:12:28+00:00 urn:sha1:50b0b6f125d840818645ab22c50df5f7f186975c Ubuntu switched to systemd too, no point in keeping upstart support arround anymore. 2015-01-04T19:05:44+00:00 Daniel Baumann mail@daniel-baumann.ch 2015-01-04T19:05:39+00:00 urn:sha1:242aef5d8314a9b1da31e016f3329e6f04b8d675 2014-08-27T22:59:28+00:00 Daniel Baumann mail@daniel-baumann.ch 2014-08-27T21:14:12+00:00 urn:sha1:bc50443cf043616c7087f383e11bf85cd233c54e 2014-02-08T16:47:24+00:00 Daniel Baumann mail@daniel-baumann.ch 2014-02-08T16:47:02+00:00 urn:sha1:eb336bb782632bea33dac6a8c93bca177de51a33 2013-11-04T17:33:48+00:00 Daniel Baumann mail@daniel-baumann.ch 2013-11-04T17:33:48+00:00 urn:sha1:1e04939721c282ee2c612d9ad06b8ba1e9aac06c 2013-11-04T16:10:22+00:00 Daniel Baumann mail@daniel-baumann.ch 2013-11-04T16:09:45+00:00 urn:sha1:9e3863aa8fc22fe0a671b5d38431b2d311fad472
