Subject: grub-mkrescue --install-modules for multi-platform support
Date: Sat, 28 Feb 2015 13:05:09 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150228130509.11ea4302@opensuse.site> (raw)
It was pointed out that this option does not play well. Different
platforms may need different modules that do not exist for other
platforms; if we give it total list, it will error out because some
modules are missing.
bor@opensuse:~/build/grub> grub2-mkrescue -o /tmp/foo.iso --install-modules="efi_gop" --locales= --themes= --fonts=
grub2-mkrescue: ошибка: не удалось открыть «/usr/lib/grub2/i386-pc/efi_gop.mod»: Нет такого файла или каталога.
May be extending it with something like
grub-mkrescue --install-modules=..." --platform=*-efi
--install-modules="..." --platform=i386-pc --install-modules="..."
This would allow also to make other options per-platform.
I understand that workaround is to manually put them where appropriate
but
- it does not interoperate with compression
- it does not resolve dependencies
- it makes tools unaware which modules are
