After way too many attempts, I finally got a custom GRUB2 EFI bootloader built with Buildroot showing a splash image at boot on real hardware 🎉

The secret? insmod gfxterm_background + font in the right path.

Simple in theory, painful in practice 🤕

At @bawuenet we're in the process of upgrading our #Xen #xcpng hypervisors to #uefi boot. Of course, we automate things and want to be able to reinstall our hypervisors from network boot. Our EFI netboot system is based on #ipxe which means it can only load EFI binaries. But xcp-ng ships the Xen kernel as a multiboot2 based image.
As probably one of the most weird ways to solve this problem, I've decided to chainload #grub2 from iPXE and learned a bit! 🧵

Breaking: Arch ISO (arch-chroot) on USB stick saves yet another GRUB

(seriously, this saved my Void Linux install, and the Arch wiki told me exactly how to mount a btrfs drive properly, with subvolumes)

With #GRUB2-BLS now the default in #Tumbleweed, boot entries live as individual files under /boot/efi/loader/entries and are managed automatically. A cleaner, future-ready approach to boot management is here. Learn more #TPM2 #openSUSE https://news.opensuse.org/2025/11/13/tw-grub2-bls/

Is anyone using Packer and VMware and Rocky Linux? I'm having an issue with Rocky 10 and the packer boot. Using the example boot command here https://docs.rockylinux.org/10/guides/automation/templates-automation-packer-vsphere/ I end up with a boot box that looks like "xt ip=[blah]" because I think grub changed and <tab> isn't the right key stroke to edit the boot, the 'e' from 'text' is. Thats why I get just 'xt' and what follows. I think I need to then send a control-x to boot. Maybe? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? My rocky 9 packer build still works great :-) #rockylinux #packer #vmwareESXi #grub2
