I've got an empty /boot/EFI directory on the root system (/dev/sda2), |
| 9 |
and a 256 megabyte vfat-formatted partition as /dev/sda1. Here's my |
| 10 |
take on /etc/fstab... |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
(chroot) livecd ~ # cat /etc/fstab |
| 13 |
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,users,noatime,async,ro 0 0 |
| 14 |
/dev/sda1 /boot/EFI vfat defaults,noatime 1 2 |
| 15 |
/dev/sda2 / ext3 noatime,nodiratime,async,user_xattr 0 1 |
| 16 |
/dev/sda3 none swap sw 0 0 |
| 17 |
/dev/sdb /mnt/drive0 auto noauto,users,noatime,async 0 0 |
| 18 |
/dev/sdb1 /mnt/drive1 auto noauto,users,noatime,async 0 0 |
| 19 |
/dev/sdc1 /mnt/drive2 auto noauto,users,noatime,async 0 0 |
| 20 |
/dev/sdd1 /mnt/drive3 auto noauto,users,noatime,async 0 0 |

I've got two scripts in /usr/src that I run from /usr/src/linux. |
| 24 |
The script "makeover" is run just after "make menuconfig" and |
| 25 |
includes (amongst other things) |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
make && \ |
| 28 |
make modules_install && \ |
| 29 |
cp arch/x86_64/boot/bzImage /boot/kernel.experimental && \ |
| 30 |
cp System.map /boot/System.map.experimental && \ |
| 31 |
cp .config /boot/config.experimental && \ |
| 32 |
lilo |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
...and the script "promote" includes... |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
cp /boot/System.map.experimental /boot/System.map.production |
| 37 |
cp /boot/config.experimental /boot/config.production |
| 38 |
cp /boot/kernel.experimental /boot/kernel.production |
| 39 |
lilo |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
Obviously won't need the "lilo" command. Replace all references to |
| 42 |
"/boot" with "/boot/EFI" and the kernels go to /boot/EFI which leaves |
| 43 |
just the question of how to set up grub. I'd like a text-based menu |
| 44 |
that defaults to the production kernel if no keypress after 15 seconds. |
| 45 |
Question: does grub have to be re-run or otherwise re-initialised when |
| 46 |
I overwrite a kernel with a newer one of the same name? |
