Hi system-devl team, Nice to meet you. I am having trouble to boot the unified-kernel image when using systemd's EFI stub loader, I wanted to check in this community if I can get some help to fix this problem. Here are steps I followed: I am using Debian package versions while checking this. Systemd: 251~rc1 Bintutils(objcopy): 2.38 Kernel versio: 5.10 I built the kernel image for arm64: kernel_image_file= linux_src/arch/arm64/boot/Image Created unified kernel image using objcopy as below (on arm64 machine) ``` objcopy \ --add-section .osrel="${os_release_file}" --change-section-vma .osrel=0x20000 \ --add-section .cmdline="${kernel_cmd_line_file}" --change-section-vma .cmdline=0x30000 \ --add-section .linux="${kernel_image_file}" --change-section-vma .linux=0x2000000 \ --add-section .initrd="${initrd_image_file}" --change-section-vma .initrd=0x3000000 \ /usr/lib/systemd/boot/efi/linuxaa64.efi.stub unified-kernel.efi ``` I tried to boot this unified-kernel image in EFI Shell environment and got the below error ``` EFI shell> fs0: FS0:\> unified-kernel.efi call the kernel EFI stub: Booting Linux Kernel... EFI stub: Generating empty DTB EFI stub: Loaded initrd from LINUX_EFI_INITRD_MEDIA_GUID device path EFI stub: Exiting boot services and installing virtual address map... ``` Looks like the kernel image file (Image) is loaded and went through kernel EFI stub and then stuck, I didn’t any clue why this is stuck. When I use uncompressed version of linux image (vmlinux) in objcopy, then it got the error much earlier probably at EFI stub loader ``` EFI shell> fs0: FS0:\> unified-kernel.efi Command Error Status: Load Error ``` Can anyone suggest me how can I solve this? Thanks, Venkata.
