Modifying grub.cfg for libreboot
- Anmelden oder Registrieren um Kommentare zu schreiben
After trying to post this on #libreboot, it was taken as flooding, and I can't connect anymore :
menuentry 'Load Operating System (incl. fully encrypted disks) [o]' --hotkey='o' {
# GRUB2 handles (almost) every possible disk setup, but only the location of
# /boot is actually important since GRUB2 only loads the user's config.
# LVM, RAID, filesystems and encryption on both raw devices and partitions in
# all various combinations need to be supported. Since full disk encryption is
# possible with GRUB2 as payload and probably even used by most users, this
# configuration tries to load the operating system in the following way:
# 1. Look for user configuration on unencrypted devices first to avoid
# unnecessary decryption routines in the following order:
# 1) raw devices and MBR/GPT partitions
search_grub ahci
search_grub ata
# 2) LVM and RAID which might be used accross multiple devices
lvm="lvm/matrix-rootvol lvm/matrix-boot"
raid="md/0 md/1 md/2 md/3 md/4 md/5 md/6 md/7 md/8 md/9"
for vol in ${lvm} ${raid}; do
try_user_config "(${vol})"
done
# 2. In case no configuration could be found, try decrypting devices. Look
# on raw crypto devices as well as inside LVM volumes this time.
# The user will be prompted for a passphrase if a LUKS header was found.
for dev in ahci0 ata0 ${lvm}; do
cryptomount "(${dev})"
done
# 3) encrypted devices/partitions
for i in 0 1; do
for part in 1 2 3 4 5; do
for type in ahci ata; do
cryptomount "(${type}${i},${part})"
done
done
done
# 3) encrypted devices/partitions
search_grub crypto
# 4) LVM inside LUKS containers
for vol in ${lvm}; do
try_user_config "(${vol})"
done
# Last resort, if all else fails
set root=ahci0,1
for p in / /boot/; do
if [ -f "${p}vmlinuz" ]; then
linux ${p}vmlinuz root=/dev/sda1 rw
if [ -f "${p}initrd.img" ]; then
initrd ${p}initrd.img
fi
fi
done
# Last resort (for GA-G41-ES2L which uses IDE emulation mode for SATA)
set root=ata0,1
for p in / /boot/; do
if [ -f "${p}vmlinuz" ]; then
linux ${p}vmlinuz root=/dev/sda1 rw
if [ -f "${p}initrd.img" ]; then
initrd ${p}initrd.img
fi
fi
done
}
according to this https://libreboot.org/docs/gnulinux/grub_cbfs.html and https://libreboot.org/docs/gnulinux ,
this is where I'm supposed to modify the file, and put this in there (modified of course): cryptomount -a
set root='lvm/matrix-root'
linux /vmlinuz root=/dev/mapper/matrix-root cryptdevice=/dev/mapper/matrix-root:root
initrd /initrd.img
That's not clear enough for me. Am I supposed to replace the whole section, to replace only some part?
Last question, do I absolutely have to reimport the modified grub file into the ROM image, or can I only put it renamed as libreboot_grub.cfg in /boot/grub/ ? I see both options, this is conusing to me.
Right now I have to boot manually of course.
Sorry I cannot help you with this issue but just want to give you a future advice, as what happened on #libreboot will happen on most chans if you try it.

Next time paste your code/terminal output here, it works great without js, and then you just provide the link -->
Awesome, thank you :)
One last thing please: my background.jpg isn't displayed.
I extracted the one I wanted from an old ROM image, saved it as background.jpg (it was .png), removed the one inside the ROM image and added the new one back inside.
Any idea why? grubtest.cfg still says background.jpg (I didn't touch that.
Btw, forget about that com0, it didn't appear since my second attempt.
