This post describes GRUB2 modules and shows you how to add functionality to existing modules or write you own custom module. This post shows you how to replace GRUB Legacy with GRUB2 on Fedora 13 The more I use GRUB2 the more I have come to realize that some of the design decisions relating to GRUB2 must have been made by the same committee that designed the camel and the dodo. This post explains why I feel this way about some parts of GRUB2. The post describes my experience in building and configuring GRUB2 to boot Fedora 12 from the TianoCore EFI shell. It also describes how to reduce the time to load the kernel and initrd images from over three minutes to a few seconds. Background images are also discussed. For some time Fedora releases have supported UEFI (more commonly known as EFI) booting on X86-64 platforms. Having some experience of using EFI on IA64 platforms over the years, I decided to test out EFI booting Fedora 12 on one of my systems has built-in support for UEFI booting. This post details my experience. |
