Marek Marczykowski-Górecki	ae8b332ca8	lorax-templates-qubes: boot xen.efi directly, bypass grub ... Grub cause problems while loading xen.efi on many machines, mostly because xen.efi support loading dom0 kernel and initramfs only via EFI services and xen.efi needs to be loaded through them too. But grub in some cases uses own filesystem handling code instead, leaving xen.efi without dom0 kernel. This should improve when xen.efi will get multiboot2 support (Xen 4.10?) - then grub could load dom0 kernel and initramfs too and pass them to xen.efi. For now, bypass grub and launch xen.efi directly. This have unfortunate effect of not having boot menu, so choose the most universal option: verbose, with all known workarounds for UEFI applied.

Marek Marczykowski-Górecki	f9bb3b2f33	lorax-templates-qubes: make initrd for EFI smaller ... Skip system-wide dracut config, specifically /etc/dracut.conf.d/plymouth-missing-fonts.conf, which loads 'label' plymouth plugin, which in turn pulls a lot of libraries (including libX11).

Marek Marczykowski-Górecki	d706bb5d31	lorax-templates-qubes: provide dummy /proc/modules for dracut ... Updated dracut don't like not having /proc/modules - modules installation routines fails then, producing initramfs without kernel modules at all. Empty /proc/modules is enough to avoid this.

Marek Marczykowski-Górecki	221d6af261	lorax: fix "System Volume Information" directory creation ... Fixes QubesOS/qubes-issues#2051	8 years ago
Marek Marczykowski-Górecki	c9a10727cf	lorax: add "System Volume Information" to ESP image ... When installation image is written on Windows, it automatically (by the OS) gets mounted and Windows create "System Volume Information" there. This obviously means the installation media is modified and then fails verification. This is really wrong from the Windows side to automatically modify some files behind users back. But since we can prevent this with really low cost by just creating those files ourself and reduce a lot of user confusion, just do it. Thanks @pbatard for the help.

Marek Marczykowski-Górecki	b024e93e40	lorax: remove network support from UEFI initrd ... Reduce its size to have efiboot.img under 32MB. This needs rebuilding initrd and we need kernel version for that - so pass it down from x86.tmpl.	9 years ago
Marek Marczykowski-Górecki	c4b965ed88	lorax: select xen.cfg section to enable/disable media check ... Apparently all but first parameters are passed to xen.efi, so it is possible to select which config section should be used. This makes xen.efi copy unnecessary.	9 years ago
