Hence, wherever you put the UKI, you can also put the extensions.
Well, that only holds if the firmware can read the filesystem where the UKI is stored. grub does not properly integrate with EFI, i.e. it brings its own set of filesystem drivers but does not register them as EFI protocols. So on a typical fedora install where /boot is xfs grub itself can access /boot but anything loaded by grub can not. Given we are talking about new installs I think it is possible to make this add-on idea work nevertheless if the filesystem type for /boot is switched from xfs to vfat in anaconda. take care, Gerd -- _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] 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/[email protected] Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
