Two critical bugs prevented the hypervisor boot path from working:
1. GRUB2 EFI requires explicit gpt/msdos prefix in partition names.
The shorthand (hd0,2) does NOT resolve for GPT disks. Fixed by
having vt_load_part_table set hiso_iso_part/hiso_efi_part with
correct notation based on detected partition table type.
2. hiperiso_boot C function wrapped $hiso_efi_part in extra parens:
($hiso_efi_part) expanded to ((hd0,gpt2)) which GRUB2 parsed as
device name (hd0,gpt2) with literal parens. Fixed by using
${hiso_efi_part} without wrapping.
QEMU-verified: kernel boots, loads initramfs, runs /init with all
hiperiso_* parameters correctly passed through kernel cmdline.
Replaces placeholder with professional branded background:
- RedBear bear logo in top-left corner (red/crimson bear head)
- Green 'hiperiso' title with glow effect
- 'Hypervisor ISO Boot Tool' subtitle
- Red accent line under title
- 'A RedBear OS Project' attribution
- Faint bear watermark on right side (8% opacity)
- 'www.hiperiso.net' footer in green
- Dark charcoal gradient background
Visual identity derived from RedBear OS project assets on
gitea.redbearos.org. hiperiso is a subproject of RedBear OS.
QEMU+OVMF verified: all branding elements render correctly
in GRUB2 menu with test.iso listed.
- Add mmx64.efi (MOK Manager) to EFI/BOOT/ for Secure Boot enrollment
- Add ENROLL_THIS_KEY_IN_MOKMANAGER.cer to tool/ for key enrollment
- Replace Ventoy background.png with hiperiso-branded one (dark navy
background, green 'hiperiso' title, 'Hypervisor ISO Boot Tool' subtitle)
- Verified via QEMU+OVMF boot test: GRUB2 boots, passes all validation
checks, shows hiperiso menu with correct branding, zero Ventoy refs
Apply vlnk→hlnk, VLNK→HLNK, Vlnk→Hlnk rename to all 7 reference
header and source files. These are the project-side copies used for
cross-referencing — the build applies the same transformation to the
vendored tarball at compile time.
Rename vlnk.c→hlnk.c, vlnk.h→hlnk.h. Update crc32.c and main_linux.c
references. The file format concept changes from 'Ventoy Link' to
'Hiperiso Link' throughout. hisolnk tool builds successfully (19K).
hiperiso_cmd.c: Remove stub implementations of hiperiso_gzip_compress,
lzx_decompress, xca_decompress. Restore real miniz-based gzip compression
and include miniz.h. Add 'Hypervisor (KVM + Boot Logging)' as option 7
in secondary boot menu with hiso_hv_mode env var check.
grub.cfg: Replace stripped 473-line version with full 2806-line config
restoring all OS-type direct boot paths (Linux, Windows, Unix, WIM, VHD,
IMG). Add hiso_hv_mode checks to all 8 menuentry functions and
post-secondary-menu hypervisor dispatch. Set HISO_HYPERVISOR_MENU=1
by default so secondary menu always appears.
