1. Added rEFInd boot manager support for both x86_64 and i386 UEFI
EFISTUB booting.
2. Unify blkid options in setup script via .
3. Rename UUID to FSUUID, LABEL to FSLABEL and rename the
corresponding functions getuuid and getlabel to getfsuuid and
getfslabel recpectively.
1. Move UEFI Shell binaries from /efi/shell/ to /efi/tools/ . This way
some firmware (might) autodetect the shell.
2. Redirect xorriso output to a text file, do not discard it. It may
prove useful.
3. Minor fixes to grub2 config in setup script.
4. Check for existence of respective grub2 core files before running
dogrub2_common_after (grub.cfg etc.).
5. Check for existence of /boot/efi/efi/arch_grub/grubx64.efi before
running efibootmgr ro prevent stale boot entries.
6. Remove duplicate efibootmgr entries (those with same LABEL).
* Detect UEFI and Kernel Arch mismatch and add noefi to kernel
parameters in such a case, while uefi booting archboot (not in setup
script)
* Split x86_64 and i686 kernel parameter variables in uefi
grub_archboot.cfg due to above reason
* use /sys/class/dmi/id instead of dmidecode, dmidecode removed from
initramfs (bbut arch_dmidecode still exists)
* Added support for separate /usr in grub2 config, added grub2 search
hints support in config
* Re arranged bootloader menu, submenus per firmware, suffixed _bios
or _uefi_ to bootloader functions
* Minor (misc.) modifications in setup script
TODO: Implement Apple mactel-boot efi bless code
TODO: Implement elilo for x86_64 UEFI
- Separated x86_64 and i686 specific code in all-in-one script so that
a x86_64 only iso can be created if needed.
- revamp grub2 uefi config used in all-in-one and update-iso scripts
- added "gpt loglevel=7" to kernel parameters
- Enabled xz compression for packages squashfs files
- xz initramfs (in archboot-update-iso.sh)
- used INITRD option in syslinux config files
- change PREFIX for GRUB2_UEFI in setup script to /boot/grub as per
changes in grub2 bzr r3856 (upstream), package will be in the repos
shortly
- disable get_grub2_map() , grub-mkdevicemap removed by upstream in r3856
- revamp dogrub2_config function
- common config for both grub2-bios and grub2 uefi in setup script
(required r3856 pkg)
- use sgdisk alone for auto_prepare gpt in setup script
- increase UEFISYS part size to 512 MiB in auto_prepare in setup
script (required for alternate UEFI bootloaders)
- fix repeating .efi in efibootmgr command in setup script
- other minor fixes, added quotes whereever required
- [TRIED TO] fix quickinst script
