A few experiments later. Using 'mkosi --use-host-repositories' greatly improves the situation. mkosi picks up the local repo config then and fetches stuff from my local mirror. Going build unified kernel image (using 'man systemd-stub' instructions): # build unified kernel echo "Unified Linux Kernel ${KVER}" > os-release objcopy --add-section .osrel=os-release \ --add-section .cmdline=/proc/cmdline \ --add-section .linux=/boot/vmlinuz-${KVER} \ --add-section .initrd=initrd_${KVER}.cpio.zstd \ \ --change-section-vma .osrel=0x20000 \ --change-section-vma .cmdline=0x30000 \ --change-section-vma .linux=0x2000000 \ --change-section-vma .initrd=0x3000000 \ \ /usr/lib/systemd/boot/efi/linuxx64.efi.stub \ /boot/efi/EFI/Linux/unified-${KVER}.efi Booting that directly from the ovmf firmware menu works fine. Progress! grub2 doesn't find it. Support not implemented? Ok, lets try systemd-boot instead. Install. Chainload from grub for now: root@fedora ~/mkosi-initrd (main)# cat /boot/grub2/custom.cfg if [ "$grub_platform" = "efi" ]; then menuentry 'systemd boot loader' { chainloader (hd0,gpt1)/efi/systemd/systemd-bootx64.efi } fi systemd-boot doesn't find it either. Double-checking. ESP mounted at /boot/efi. Directory looks fine to me: root@fedora ~/mkosi-initrd (main)# ll /boot/efi/EFI/Linux total 77832 -rwx------. 1 root root 79698816 Jul 6 15:36 unified-5.18.9-200.fc36.x86_64.efi Any clues? thanks, Gerd _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-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/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
