The preparation to call zipl and the call itself were wrong.
For whatever reason the kernel image the initrd are moved
to another location prior to calling zipl. That move broke
the system because no kernel/initrd existed at the expected
place anymore. In addition the zipl call itself was issued
from a the wrong directory. Also no config file was written
as an after effect of the refactoring in Issue #1194. This
Fixes#1173 and bsc#1156694
In SUSE products EFI binaries are historically located in
/usr/lib*/efi. In a recent move to package grub2 as noarch
fate#326960, a collision between x86_64 and aarch64 has been
identified, as both place platform-specific files in the same
spot. To rectify this, a new location was devised:
/usr/share/efi/$(uname -m). At the same time /usr/lib/grub2 will
move to /usr/share/grub2. This Fixes#924
The current implementation is based on the presence of the
shim-install tool. This tool does not exist on all distributions.
In case shim-install is not present a kiwi fallback solution
applies. Fixes#337
Depending on the distribution the grub tools are either named
grub2-tool or grub-tool. Additionally the grub configuration
data is expected to live in boot/grub2 or boot/grub. This commit
handles the tool calls and also the grub boot directory setup
in a generic way
During the grub2 install process volumes were not mounted properly,
a proper mount order was not taken into consideration and LV device
information was not given by the method get_volumes in VolumeManger.
This commit forces the mount (and umount) operations to be done in
coherent order and also modifies the get_volumes method in order
to return the device associated to each volume.
If there are volumes below /boot they need to be mounted before
grub2-install / shim-install is called in order to make sure all
data is available in the volume
In order to workaround the bug in shim-install which
unnecessarily calls grub2-install we replace the binary
by a noop before calling shim-install. However all file
attributes of the grub2-install binary, timestamp, modes,
etc should stay untouched (bnc#993825)
All mkdtemp created directories are created with the 'kiwi_'
prefix. In addition all code parts which leaves tmpdirs in
the system after kiwi is done were fixed
Not all linux systems installs grub2 below /usr/lib/grub2
For example RHEL7 packages it below /usr/lib/grub. Therefore
kiwi needs to be flexible with this path
architecture dependant device setup belongs to the install
method where it is actually needed. That prevents the
construction of the instance to be architecture specific
EFI support was target specific to the x86_64 architecture
This commit changes the structure to allow more architectures
supporting EFI. Thus the arm64 EFI support has been added
as a plus
