From b0afa3c5f6fc3dc84779be64d03cdff4ab295a33 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Maxim Cournoyer Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2020 14:48:54 -0500 Subject: bootloader: grub: Skip install-grub-efi when producing a disk image. Fixes . Every bootloader should try their best to install themselves using only the MOUNT-POINT and otherwise do nothing. This requirement comes from the necessity to call INSTALL-GRUB when installing the (non-EFI) GRUB bootloader, which needs to populate the root file system with extra modules that cannot be fit in the core.img file, limited in size to 491520 bytes (by the i386-pc format required for legacy BIOS compatibility). As introducing bootloader knowledge at the level of the image code is undesirable, every bootloader should be adapted to support this fall-back for their installation procedure (TODO). * gnu/bootloader/grub.scm (install-grub-efi)[efi-dir]: Skip when the EFI-DIR argument is set to #f. --- gnu/bootloader/grub.scm | 33 ++++++++++++++++++--------------- 1 file changed, 18 insertions(+), 15 deletions(-) (limited to 'gnu') diff --git a/gnu/bootloader/grub.scm b/gnu/bootloader/grub.scm index 0899fab61f..af7b7561ff 100644 --- a/gnu/bootloader/grub.scm +++ b/gnu/bootloader/grub.scm @@ -573,21 +573,24 @@ fi~%")))) (define install-grub-efi #~(lambda (bootloader efi-dir mount-point) - ;; Install GRUB onto the EFI partition mounted at EFI-DIR, for the - ;; system whose root is mounted at MOUNT-POINT. - (let ((grub-install (string-append bootloader "/sbin/grub-install")) - (install-dir (string-append mount-point "/boot")) - ;; When installing Guix, it's common to mount EFI-DIR below - ;; MOUNT-POINT rather than /boot/efi on the live image. - (target-esp (if (file-exists?
