uh - you just specify the location of your initramfs in the kernel boot params and that's it, no need for all the above

- csdvrx 4y agoYou hadn't specified it at first, so I thought it might be helpful to provide a more complete example with different parts (like the initrd) and offsets, with a gummiboot stub
- still_grokking 4y agoHaving kernel and initrd separate makes things more complicated and brittle. Also a secure boot setup is much more difficult this way. I for my part love the UKI. Never had a simpler boot setup!
- qu4z-2 4y ago> a secure boot setup is much more difficult this way. Is it? Don't you just sign the bootable kernel image that already has the initrd and command-line built in? Oh, I guess if you're using Microsoft as a CA I can see why that would be tricky.
- still_grokking 4y agoI think this is a misunderstanding. I've said secure boot is much more difficult in case kernel and initrd are separate. In case of a UKI it's very simple of course. Just sign the boot image. That's why I love the UKI. :-)
