OpenSUSE Tumbleweed is a rolling release that is constantly updated as Slackware64-current could be.:doh: I don't expect a package from git, but what the hell are we doing with the hundreds of patches for GRUB existing in Debian, Fedora, OpenSUSE, etc. This is what I was referring to when I said that it is difficult to maintain.:banghead: Those from Grub hardly cut a release and let the distribution maintainers deal with the necessary patches that appear after the release. I still have a problem with the official SlackBuild for GRUB. If I apply hardening flags, I have to use HOST_CFLAGS="-fstack-protector-strong" because the script builds 32/64 bit efi target, then builds regular build and overwrites the above option by disabling it for efi. Code:
build_grub() { |
Thanks @teoberi for the reply. :hattip:
Well don't know or really care about Debian or OpenSUSE or the others, only Slackware. I don't apply any hardening so that probably helps. Not a lot of patches in the slackware64-current build. I also testing in a VM first. That how I got to learn grub after Pat announced lilo, elilo would be following the dodo bird. I'm 100% with grub now. Three slackware64-current installs, two BIOS, one EFI and one slackware64-15.0 BIOS install. |
*maybe the problem is not related to Grub, maybe someone here has the answer.
Grub 2.12 bios without liblzma: 48.6 MB use at startup Grub 2.12 bios with liblzma: 47.9 MB use at startup *Grub 2.12 bios with liblzma after a 15-minute session on youtube(javascipt.enabled) and a reboot: 52MB to use when starting up. Grub 2.12 bios with liblzma after a 15-minute session offline and a reboot: 47.9 MB use at startup. |
Interesting article.

I recently installed Slackware 15.0 on a new machine. elilo didn't work (don't know why). I just previously switched from elilo to grub on a different machine to fix an nVidia problem, so I'm a brand new grub user. Anyway, I grabbed the SlackBuild for grub 2.12 and compiled it on Slackware 15.0 and am using it now.
I use an encrypted /, so I needed to make some modifications (after following README_CRYPT.txt). Here is my drive setup (not every drive is listed): Code:
# lsblk Code:
/dev/mapper/cryptswap: UUID="xx-xx" TYPE="swap" Code:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="cryptdevice=UUID=0x-xx:luksSLACKROOT:allow-discards preempt=voluntary delayacct mitigations=off" Code:
### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/10_linux ### Code:
# grep SLACKROOT /etc/crypttab |
