younihello, devuans! I have installed slackware with EElilo (for uefi) on another separate disk. And it has efi files here:19:08
youni```ls /media/slack/EFI/Slackware/19:08
younielilo.conf  elilo.efi  initrd.gz  vmlinuz```19:08
youniAnd I run under Devuan `update-grub2` and it successfully finds Elilo disk, but it creates grub menu entry with wrong file path:19:08
younichainloader /EFI/elilo.efi/elilo.efi19:08
youniactually I need to edit it like this: chainloader /EFI/Slackware/elilo.efi19:08
youniI created my own menu entry. But I also want to ask you is it possible to be that update-grub will create correct Elilo file path while scanning disks? I already mounted it and run `update-grub`, but it creates same wrong menu entry19:08
nemohuh... does devuan customise update-grub?19:53
* nemo looks19:53
younimay be. they have no such feature do not touch original packages and leave them as is as Slackware does.19:54
nemohttps://git.devuan.org/devuan19:54
nemonot finding it here19:55
nemoyouni: what I mean is19:55
nemoyouni: devuan is a thin skin over debian19:55
nemoso it tries not to change debian stuff too much19:55
nemoso... to find out what's going on here, might have to check the patches on debian's package, not devuan's19:55
nemoand yeah, I don't see grub2 in devuan's stuff at all19:55
nemoI do remember debian's grub breaking devuan before so was plausible they'd changed things, but not finding that19:56
fsmithredhint: any packages we fork from debian have "devuan" in the version.19:56
nemofsmithred: oh? good to know.19:56
* nemo files that away19:56
youniAlso i has these messages in update-grub2:19:57
youniWarning: os-prober will be executed to detect other bootable partitions.19:57
youniIts output will be used to detect bootable binaries on them and create new boot entries.19:57
youniFound Rocky Linux 9.1 (Blue Onyx) on /dev/nvme0n1p319:57
youniFound Slackware 15.0 x86_64 (post 15.0 -current) on /dev/nvme0n1p419:57
youniFound ELILO Boot Manager on /dev/sda1@/EFI/elilo.efi/elilo.efi19:57
younidone19:57
nemoah. that explains your path then eh19:58
youniafter line Rocky: error: unknown filesystem19:58
youniAfter line Slackware: error: unknown filesystem19:58
fsmithredyouni, do you have efi partitions on more than one disk?19:59
younihere are entire output http://paste.debian.net/1274422/ and i am not sure it works fine, because it gives errors on ext4 partitions19:59
nemofsmithred: related to your hint... $ apt list --installed 2>/dev/null | grep -P "^\S+ \S+devuan[a-z0-9]*"    tried to bang together a crude filter. this returned 72 packages.  would that be the devuan touched stuff on my home machine probably?20:01
youniYes, I have two disks with efi partitions, but I am not sure I created it correctly on /dev/sda1: http://paste.debian.net/1274423/ so /dev/sda1 was made by my hands, i am not sure it's right. and nvme0n1p1 was edited during devuan installation and it looks another way and it is correct20:02
youniapt devuan : http://paste.debian.net/1274424/20:03
nemofsmithred: if so, 72 out of 3195  so my devuan is 97¾% debian ☺  ofc... I'm sure those 72 are pretty important20:03
fsmithrednemo, there are around 200 forked packages, and about 100 of them are task-<some language> translations for taksel.20:04
fsmithredand we don't do the translations, they're all part of the same source package.20:05
nemoah.  adding a grep -Pv '^task' narrows down to 67... anyway. interesting hint.  I will remember that20:07
fsmithredyouni, having two efi partitions might be confusing the system. I'm not sure how that would work, and it's probably different for different motherboards.20:07
nemoin part because, well, #devuan is small, #debian is big,  most issues are really with debian, but #debian gets very angry if they discover they were tricked into supporting devuan.20:07
nemoeven if problem was with their stuff. like. something super obviously their issue like release schedule for backports for apache220:07
fsmithredI would expect all the boot entries in one installation to be on the same efi partition.20:08
nemoso. I try to not mention devuan at all. and now I know to try here first if I can narrow down the issue to one of this small package list20:08
younii should refine: i have two disks with efi partitions - one partition on each disk20:08
fsmithredum, I think we automated referral of bugs to debian where appropriate.20:09
fsmithredyes youni, that's what I thought you meant.20:09
youniyou mean to place devuan's initrd and vmlinuz and slackware's initrd and vmlinuz to the one efi partition? i am not expert for doing so. i hope there should be easier steps20:12
fsmithredI don't put any vmlinuz or initrd in the efi partition.20:13
fsmithredthose go in the /boot directory, which can be part of the root partition or on a separate linux partition.20:13
youniwhen i installed Rocky after devuan was already installed, and I chosen boot partition the same as devuan, Rocky has broken my devuan's boot. So it is impossible to do automatically20:14
fsmithredthere's also a thing called kernel stub booting or something like that. I'm not sure how that works.20:14
fsmithredput devuan's /boot directory with the rest of the OS20:15
youniok. this is only one step. what to do next?20:16
fsmithredthere should be a directory for each linux in the efi partitoin20:16
fsmithredI'm not sure what to do next because I'm not really sure of what your setup is.20:16
younicool, i need to dig in grub documentation for check how to place many linuxes and how to mount systems for boot20:17
fsmithreddid Rocky format the boot partition that devuan was using?20:17
youniyes, and i cannot avoid formatting during rocky installation process20:18
fsmithredYou know about this one? https://rodsbooks.com/efi-bootloaders/index.html20:19
younithank you. i will try to learn20:19
fsmithredboot partition is not same thing as efi partition20:20
