If you're using SeaBIOS, the boot process will work similarly to traditional
|
||
|
|
BIOS systems; refer to the SeaBIOS documentation

GNU+Linux is the operating system of choice, for Libreboot development. It is
|
||
|
|
highly recommended over any other operating system, precisely because it consists
|
||
|
|
of [Free Software](https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html) (free as in
|
||
|
|
freedom). There *are* other free operating systems, such as BSD, but most of
|
||
|
|
the software in a typical GNU+Linux system is also *copylefted*. To learn more
|
||
|
|
about the importance of copyleft, read this page on the GNU website:

Fedora won't boot?

linux16 issue
|
||
|
|
-------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When you use Libreboot's default GRUB config, and libreboot's grub uses fedora's
|
||
|
|
default `grub.cfg` (in `/boot/grub2/grub.cfg`), fedora by default makes use of the
|
||
|
|
`linux16` command, whereas it should be saying `linux`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Do this in fedora:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Open `/etc/grub.d/10_linux`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Set the `sixteenbit` variable to an empty string, then run:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
BLS issue
|
||
|
|
---------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
With [newer versions of fedora](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/BootLoaderSpecByDefault),
|
||
|
|
scripts from grub package default to generating [BLS](https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/BootLoaderSpec/)
|
||
|
|
instead of `grub.cfg`. To change that behaviour add following line
|
||
|
|
to `/etc/default/grub` (or modify existing one if it already exists):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
GRUB_ENABLE_BLSCFG=false
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Then generate `grub.cfg` with:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
|
