Dear Maintainer,
efibootguard kernel-stub 0.17 from unstable fails to boot.
kernel stub version 0.13 built in debian stable works fine.
Minimal reproduction case (on amd64, using Distro kernel, but a mainline
kernel built with CONFIG_EFI_STUB also fails):
$ bg_gen_unified_kernel \
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/efibootguard/kernel-stubx64.efi \
/boot/vmlinuz-6.8.12-amd64 \
linux.efi
$ qemu-system-x86_64 \
-bios /usr/share/ovmf/OVMF.fd \
-m 2048M \
-drive format=raw,file=fat:rw:$(pwd)
.. wait for the system to boot to an EFI shell & attempt to run linux.efi
from the cwd.
For the non-working case, there is no shell output at all, even the version
print from the Kernel stub.
Perhaps this is some kind of toolchain/library issue? I am getting similar
issues when building the kernel stub from source manually using a toolchain
built by buildroot.
If you have any hints on what to try next, it'd be helpful.
I was going to try to build 0.17 in a Debian stable container, as a next
step, to attempt to see if it is a toolchain/gnu-efi library issue.
Thanks,
Chris
