Subject: [OE-core][PATCH] grub: update search parameter
Date: Thu, 26 Feb 2026 16:19:37 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260226081937.671793-1-xiangyu.chen@eng.windriver.com> (raw)

From: Xiangyu Chen <xiangyu.chen@windriver.com>

Grub would report an error message in boot stage as below:

   "error: no such device: ((hd0,gpt1)/EFI/BOOT)/EFI/BOOT/grub.cfg"

Consequently, the root variable is not set, and the intended protection
against cross-device configuration loading (the purpose of the original 2014 commit)
is lost.

The most robust fix is to use the --hint parameter.
This separates the search target from the device hint, avoiding
fragile string concatenation and supporting both prefixed and
non-prefixed $cmdpath formats.

Fixes: 5ce73b6055ac ("grub: add cmdpath to grub configuration file")
