#unifiedkernelimage
0 posts · 0 participants · 0 posts today
Jason J.G. WhiteI recently switched to using a unified kernel image on my laptop - a UEFI executable that includes the kernel and the initial RAM disk. It is loaded directly by the UEFI firmware, hence no boot loader is needed anymore.<br>I'm still resolving a few issues, but it's essentially working. For now, at least, I've decided to use dracut to generate the initramfs image, and the Arch Linux dracut-ukify package to automate creation of the unified kernel image.<br><a href="https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Unified_kernel_image" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Unified_kernel_image</a><br><a class="hashtag" href="https://social.jasonjgw.net/tag/linux" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Linux</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.jasonjgw.net/tag/bootprocess" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BootProcess</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.jasonjgw.net/tag/uefi" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#uefi</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.jasonjgw.net/tag/unifiedkernelimage" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#UnifiedKernelImage</a>
