I can boot from the Fedora 34 live cd I have setup in Virtual box. 2G boot file. I've found that there are 23 packages that are not included in the live cd setup, so have to install them. dnf install ncftp nano dialog fsarchiver aespipe bwm-ng dd_rescue ddrescue f3 hexedit iperf fuse-sshfs strace testdisk hdparm dmidecode nvme-cli gpm rpcbind partclone udpcast Then there is the g4l script plus a copy little programs and scripts. Did a comparison of the /bin and /sbin directories to see what wasn't there. Might be some of those packages that are not needed by main script, but the main script is 2460 lines long, so would have to go thru it. Found files from 2006 where I had some systems that wouldn't boot from the G4L kernels, but booted fine with Knoppix live cd. Had created a simpler setup that worked with that. Booting the knoppix, and then just extacting the missing programs. But a lot had been added since 2006. So, going from a simple boot with a 10M kernel and 30M filesystem running in ram versus booting to a 2G filesystem and having to add stuff requiring the internet. Not clear why the grub2-install fails with the efi message about not supporting secure boot, since I am not looking for efi secure boot?? > > Have you looked at a Fedora bootable flash drive to see where the files are? I've looked at the /boot efi files on the Fedora 34 live CD, but they seem to be locked for the secure boot enabled Fedora kernels, and wouldn't work with my kernels, since they don't have the signature.. Will keep looking, but the answer may be it is beyond my abilities. But guess if memtest can't create a setup for EFI, it can't be easy. > _______________________________________________ > users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ > List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines > List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
