Subject: [sumo][PATCH 0/1] wic/isoimage-isohybrid.py: fix booting from removable media
Date: Fri, 2 Nov 2018 20:00:50 +0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1541168618.git.Arsalan_Awan@mentor.com> (raw)

From: "Arsalan H. Awan" <Arsalan_Awan@mentor.com>

The mkhybridiso image created using the isoimage-isohybrid.py
WIC source plugin fails to boot from a removable storage media
such as USB. This is due to the grub-efi bootloader filename
being deployed i.e.: "grub-efi-bootx64.efi" which must be
"bootx64.efi" in this case of a removable media.

Source: https://www.rodsbooks.com/efi-bootloaders/principles.html
Quote: "The fallback boot loader mentioned earlier (EFI/BOOT/bootx64.efi,
        or variants of that, depending on the architecture) is something
        of a special case. This filename was originally intended for use
        only on removable media, so that they could be booted to install
        an OS. (If not for that fixed filename, a factory-fresh computer
        wouldn't be able to boot anything!)"

The following changes since commit 30b055d2296f060a4ca054d042f353a2153fdd4e:

  externalsrc.bbclass: Set BB_DONT_CACHE for non-target recipes (2018-10-18 11:08:46 +0100)
