This is a follow up to post 935

Running my Slint install on my multi-boot laptop (Win 10, Slint, Salix, Slackware ) I installed the grub package from the Slint repository. Rebooting after runing both grub-mkconfig and grub-install rusulted in a grub menu which had menu entries for all my installed OS included Win 10. Win 10 along with all the other OS's booted without problems.

Incidentally, I also installed TrueOS, which amazingly installs rEFInd as boot manager

My ultimate boot setup, would be to have elilo as the boot loader and rEFInd as the boot manager.

In an EFI enabled VirtualBox VM I installed DragonFlyBSD-5.2.0 in /dev/sdb then Slint64-14.2.1.1 on /dev/sda, from which I ran grubconfig.

DragonFly installed a PE32+ image /EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI in an ESP it made in /dev/sdb1.

Good news for all the Slackers who run a Virtualbox VM of DragonFlyBSD!

Feel free not to

PS. Dual boot with FreeBSD-11.1 (installed on /dev/sdb in lieu if DragonFlyBSD) works as well. I just had to edit the UUID of /dev/sdb1 in 40_custom to match the new one after the FreeBSD installer recreated the partition, then run grubconfig again.

Pat,
As long as you are going to the trouble of making the version files accurate,
perhaps they should be Slackware64 where appropriate?

It looks like there is a minor bug in the kernel-firmware.SlackBuild script at line 72:

Code:

<<snip>>
# Install documentation link:
mkdir -p $PKG/usr/doc
( cd $PKG/usr/doc
  ln -sf /lib/firmware kernel-firmware-$VERSION
)
<<snip>>

${VERSION} is referenced but there is no VERSION defined in the SlackBuild ... should it be ${DATE}_${HEADISAT} instead ?

On Slackware64 14.2+ ( current ) see: /var/log/scripts/kernel-firmware-20180329_8c1e439-noarch-1

This results in a /usr/share/doc/kernel-firmware-/ directory and a pair of lines at EoF in the kernel-firmware install/doinst.sh that look like this:

Code:

( cd usr/doc ; rm -rf kernel-firmware- )
( cd usr/doc ; ln -sf /lib/firmware kernel-firmware- )

Thanks All'Y'All !

I would like to see full disk encryption as an option in the installer.

IF the entire disk is encrypted, how the heck finds out the LILO (or GRUB) the kernel and initrd?

You may use initrd into kernel image and load this image via CD-ROM. ;-) Or via USB-stick. Or via another way (For sample, via UEFI).

But Slackware does not provide initrd into linux kernel. Choice warriors way: make its youself. And create report about this. And you will be in the army warriors of Light. ;-)

Also, you may be use different partition for /boot and for /. This is simple and NOT way of warriors of Light.

Go, smoke, choice.

I Going, I smoking.
