[arch-releng] [RFCv4] [PATCH] [configs/releng] Add UEFI boot support via Linux >= 3.3 EFI boot stub on x86_64
by Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi 08 Apr '12

Makes an efiboot.img (FAT16) for "El Torito" (additional). Under an EFI-system, implies that this .ISO works only if is used as "CD-ROM/DVD-ROM" not in ISO-HYBRID-MBR mode. If you want, an EFI-ready USB-key, just unpack this "<ISO>/EFI/efiboot.img" (FAT16) to "<USB-key-FAT-formatted>/EFI" then copy "<ISO>/arch" and setup the filesystem label. An aditional EFI shell is provided with an startup script for automatic booting until EFI_STUB supports "linux.conf" to pass boot parms to kernel. Anyway I think that is a good idea to keep this shell, so can customize boot parms, or for doing other tasks on systems without an EFI-shell. RFCv1: Initial efiboot.img build with vmlinuz.efi (Linux with EFI_STUB enabled) and archiso.img (initramfs). RFCv2: Use an startup.nsh with EFI-Shell 2.0 (generated from build.sh) for automatic boot. RFCv3: Use and older EFI-Shell 1.0 instead of 2.0, since not all UEFI-systems are compatible with 2.3+ specs. RFCv4: The script "startup.nsh" improved by Keshav P R, using a for-loop (see notes below from original commit), now that has more than 1-line, I moved it to an independent file and is parsed by build.sh. ---- About startup.nsh: Author: Keshav P R <the.ridikulus.rat(a)gmail.com> Date: Thu Apr 5 10:33:20 2012 +0530 [configs/releng] Search in all existing UEFI FS mountpoints for archiso efistub kernel file There is no guarantee that the efistub kernel will always be in fs0: (similar to the case inside linux OS where the sda, sdb confusion exists, hence the need for UUIDs), especially when USB (instead os CD/ISO) is used for booting. Hence loop through all possible fs mountpoints (in UEFI) in startup.nsh and try to launch the first mountpoint that contains the archiso files. Cd's into the fs%m:\EFI\archiso directory also may remove future issues with efistub's linux.conf where the efistub might have problems identifying the directory from which the kernel was launched. Also add an helpful echo message showing the user the UEFI PATH to the archiso kernel file being launched by startup.nsh . Hopefully this should work in both CD and USB. Tested in Tianocore UDK/EDK2 DuetPkg X64 UEFI 2.3.1 firmware with EdkShellBinPkg's Shell. ---- Signed-off-by: Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi <vmlinuz386(a)yahoo.com.ar> --- README | 3 +++ configs/releng/build.sh | 38 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ configs/releng/efiboot/EFI/boot/startup.nsh | 10 +++++++ 3 files changed, 51 insertions(+) create mode 100644 configs/releng/efiboot/EFI/boot/startup.nsh diff --git a/README b/README index 57c87e3..711e51d 100644 --- a/README +++ b/README @@ -153,6 +153,9 @@ if nothing is specified on command line. + squashfs-tools for mksquashfs + libisoburn for xorriso +** For configs/releng build.sh needs theses packages (build host): + + dosfstools for mkfs.vfat + ** For these hooks needs these packages (on target root-image) * archiso + (none) diff --git a/configs/releng/build.sh b/configs/releng/build.sh index 2faf210..7cffeaf 100755 --- a/configs/releng/build.sh +++ b/configs/releng/build.sh @@ -58,6 +58,43 @@ make_boot() { fi } +# Prepare EFI "El Torito" boot image (using Linux >= 3.3 EFI boot stub) +make_boot_efi() { + if [[ ! -e ${work_dir}/build.${FUNCNAME} ]]; then + if [[ ${arch} == "x86_64" ]]; then + mkdir -p ${work_dir}/iso/EFI/archiso + dd of=${work_dir}/iso/EFI/archiso/efiboot.img bs=1 seek=20M count=0 + mkfs.vfat ${work_dir}/iso/EFI/archiso/efiboot.img + + mkdir -p ${work_dir}/efiboot + mount ${work_dir}/iso/EFI/archiso/efiboot.img ${work_dir}/efiboot + + mkdir -p ${work_dir}/efiboot/EFI/archiso + cp ${work_dir}/iso/${install_dir}/boot/x86_64/vmlinuz ${work_dir}/efiboot/EFI/archiso/vmlinuz.efi + cp ${work_dir}/iso/${install_dir}/boot/x86_64/archiso.img ${work_dir}/efiboot/EFI/archiso/archiso.img + + # There are plans to support command line options via a config file (not yet in linux-3.3) + #cp ${work_dir}/iso/${install_dir}/boot/x86_64/vmlinuz ${work_dir}/efiboot/EFI/boot/bootx64.efi + #cp ${work_dir}/iso/${install_dir}/boot/x86_64/archiso.img ${work_dir}/efiboot/EFI/boot/linux.img + #echo "archisolabel=${iso_label} initrd=\EFI\boot\linux.img" | iconv -f ascii -t ucs2 > ${work_dir}/iso/EFI/boot/linux.conf + + # For now, provide an EFI-shell until 'linux.conf' hits mainline. + mkdir -p ${work_dir}/efiboot/EFI/boot + # EFI Shell 2.0 for UEFI 2.3+ ( http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/tianocore/index.php?title=UEFI_Shell ) + #wget -O ${work_dir}/efiboot/EFI/boot/bootx64.efi https://edk2.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/edk2/trunk/edk2/ShellBinPkg/UefiSh… + # EFI Shell 1.0 for non UEFI 2.3+ ( http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/tianocore/index.php?title=Efi-shell ) + wget -O ${work_dir}/efiboot/EFI/boot/bootx64.efi https://edk2.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/edk2/trunk/edk2/EdkShellBinPkg/Ful… + + # Add an EFI shell script for automatic boot if ESC-key is not pressed within 5 seconds timeout. + sed "s|%ARCHISO_LABEL%|${iso_label}|g; + s|%INSTALL_DIR%|${install_dir}|g" ${script_path}/efiboot/EFI/boot/startup.nsh > ${work_dir}/efiboot/EFI/boot/startup.nsh + + umount ${work_dir}/efiboot + fi + : > ${work_dir}/build.${FUNCNAME} + fi +} + # Prepare /${install_dir}/boot/syslinux make_syslinux() { if [[ ! -e ${work_dir}/build.${FUNCNAME} ]]; then @@ -259,6 +296,7 @@ make_common_single() { make_packages make_setup_mkinitcpio make_boot + make_boot_efi make_syslinux make_isolinux make_customize_root_image diff --git a/configs/releng/efiboot/EFI/boot/startup.nsh b/configs/releng/efiboot/EFI/boot/startup.nsh new file mode 100644 index 0000000..1188d2a --- /dev/null +++ b/configs/releng/efiboot/EFI/boot/startup.nsh @@ -0,0 +1,10 @@ +echo -off + +for %m in (0 9) + if exist fs%m:\EFI\archiso\vmlinuz.efi then + fs%m: + cd fs%m:\EFI\archiso + echo "Launching Arch Linux ISO Kernel fs%m:\EFI\archiso\vmlinuz.efi" + vmlinuz.efi archisobasedir=%INSTALL_DIR% archisolabel=%ARCHISO_LABEL% initrd=\EFI\archiso\archiso.img + endif +endfor -- 1.7.9.5

[arch-releng] pacman.conf.{i686,x86_64} ignored by archiso?
by Dieter Plaetinck 08 Apr '12

08 Apr '12

in the releng env (http://projects.archlinux.org/users/dieter/releng.git/tree/) it seems the pacman.conf.{i686,x86_64} files are now being ignored. (i enabled testing in there but it's not used) Frankly I don't even know/remember how this ever worked, I can't find a reference to these files anywhere. How does one control which pacman.conf archiso must use during building of the arch environment it puts on the isos? Dieter

[arch-releng] testbuilds are unbroken

fixed that issue with package signatures and some other AIF things.. tested archlinux-2012.04.05_04-00-01-core-x86_64.iso and does installs fine for me. note that i currently enabled testing repo so newer testbuilds will have testing enabled. (i need linux 3.3 for some EFI experiments)
