= Proposed System Wide Change: u-boot syslinux by default = https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/u-boot_syslinux Change owner(s): Dennis Gilmore <dennis@xxxxxxxx> Add syslinux support to u-boot enabling both pxelinux and extlinux support. simplifying booting arm machines, making anaconda installs easy and overall providing for a better user experience. Default u-boot to using syslinux config files for booting. pxelinux for network and extlinux for local booting. == Detailed description == u-boot has support for booting using syslinux style configuration files, this change is to default to using it on all supported systems. === Benefit to Fedora === This takes away the complexity of booting arm systems. There is no need to know addresses or to wrap images with mkimage. Users will get a menu that allows them to choose which kernel to boot. making things like a boot.img will be possible. Initiating installs via anaconda will also be much more simple and straight forward. == Scope == * Proposal owners: default u-boot to loading extlinux.conf files. anaconda to write a devicetreedir line in extlinux.conf on arm systems. appliance-creator to write out a devicetreedir in extlinux.conf on arm systems * Other developers: grubby to update extlinux.conf appropriately. * Release engineering: None * Policies and guidelines: None _______________________________________________ devel-announce mailing list devel-announce@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel-announce -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
