The symlink from recipes/wip/services/grub was using ../../../../local/
which goes above the repo root. Fixed to ../../../local/ which correctly
resolves from recipes/wip/services/ to local/recipes/core/grub.
install-grub.sh now searches both recipes/core/bootloader/target and
local/recipes/core/bootloader/target for the Redox bootloader artifact.
The WIP grub recipe (recipes/wip/services/grub) is now a full directory
symlink to local/recipes/core/grub instead of just recipe.toml, ensuring
COOKBOOK_RECIPE resolves to a directory that contains grub.cfg. This also
eliminates the duplicate recipe warning from the cookbook.
The GRUB recipe now fails hard (exit 1) if grub.cfg is missing instead of
just warning.
Ensures recipes/core/grub and the WIP conflict redirect are created
by apply-patches.sh, so a fresh sync-upstream + apply-patches cycle
preserves the GRUB integration.
INSTALLER_OPTS replaces the default --cookbook=. value, so the docs
now show the full invocation with --cookbook=. included and recommend
using the config file approach instead.
The script now reads the Redox bootloader from the cookbook's bootloader
package output instead of extracting it from the ESP. This makes it
idempotent — previously, rerunning after GRUB install would copy GRUB
itself into EFI/REDBEAR/redbear.efi because ESP's BOOTX64.EFI was GRUB.
When bootloader = "grub" is set, the installer now:
- Rejects unknown bootloader values (only "redox" and "grub" accepted)
- Enforces minimum efi_partition_size of 8 MiB for GRUB mode
- Fails with a clear error if grub.efi or grub.cfg are missing from
the GRUB package output instead of silently falling back
Reorganized testing section to cover both Phase 1 (post-build script)
and Phase 2 (installer-native) workflows. Added unit test commands.
Removed mtools dependency from limitations.
Adds --bootloader and --filesystem to installer help text. Fixes
fstools host build by symlinking local/ directory alongside recipes/
so the ext4-blockdev path dependency resolves correctly.
Extends the installer to write a GRUB chainload ESP layout when
bootloader = "grub" is set in config. Changes GeneralConfig, DiskOption,
fetch_bootloaders, with_whole_disk, with_whole_disk_ext4, and both CLI
binaries. When GRUB mode is active, the ESP contains GRUB as primary
(BOOTX64.EFI), grub.cfg, and the Redox bootloader as chainload target
(EFI/REDBEAR/redbear.efi).
Documents the two-phase GRUB integration approach (post-build script
then installer-native), build notes for the three cookbook workarounds,
and measured artifact sizes. Sets efi_partition_size=16 in redbear-full
to accommodate GRUB plus Redox bootloader on the ESP.
fat_tool.py provides zero-dependency FAT32 manipulation (ls, mkdir,
cp-in, cp-out) using only Python stdlib struct/os. install-grub.sh uses
it to extract the existing Redox bootloader from ESP, install GRUB as
the primary boot manager, and set up the chainload configuration.
Builds GRUB 2.12 for the host machine (not Redox target) using template=custom.
Produces a 540 KiB standalone PE32+ EFI binary with GPT, FAT, ext2,
chainloader, and utility modules. The grub.cfg chainloads the Redox
bootloader from EFI/REDBEAR/redbear.efi.
5-second countdown with any-key cancel into manual mode selection. Defaults to 1280x720, falls back to EDID best resolution. UEFI only via get_key_timeout polling with BootServices.Stall.
Add channel/band/rate/BSS/RX-TX structures to linux-kpi wireless
scaffolding (mac80211.rs, wireless.rs, net.rs, C headers), extend
redbear-iwlwifi linux_port.c with comprehensive PCIe transport, and
create consolidated CONSOLE-TO-KDE-DESKTOP-PLAN.md as the canonical
desktop path document. Remove stale INTEGRATION_REPORT.md (1388 lines)
in favor of current local/docs/ references. Update AGENTS.md, README,
and docs index to point to the new plan.
