did you build nvme support into the kernel? On Mon, Dec 24, 2018 at 6:14 AM Cédric Macquat <banlieue48@mykolab.com> wrote:
Hello,
I'm trying to install Crux unfortunately with no sucess until now. I installed the UEFI version and there is no success with grub or directly with EFI Stub.
After a reboot I get the grub shell. I did the following: I partitionned my hard disk with fdisk. After the partitionning I got:
Disk /dev/nvme0n1: 465.8 GiB, 500107862016 bytes, 976773168 sectors Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disklabel type: gpt Disk identifier: 2D20A0A0-716B-4E73-84A4-473759D6509A

I have formatted the first partition "/dev/nvme0n1p1" with
-----------------------------------
# mkfs.fat -F 32 /dev/nvme0n1p1
---------------------------------------------
With the setup I have installed grub2-efi and efibootmgr. Before chrooting, I have mounted the EFI partition:
------------------------------
# mount /dev/nvme0n1p1 /mnt/boot/efi
-------------------------------------------
After the chroot, I have edited the /etc/fstab to mount the EFI partition to /boot/efi.
I have installed grub with the following commands:
-----------------------------------------
# grub-install /boot/efi
# grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
---------------------------------------------
I have the following in my folder /boot/efi:
/boot/efi/: total 8 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Dec 24 08:57 EFI drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Dec 24 07:25 linux
/boot/efi/EFI: total 4 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Dec 24 10:32 grub
/boot/efi/EFI/grub: total 136 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 136704 Dec 24 09:46 grubx64.efi
/boot/efi/linux: total 6560 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2344508 Dec 24 08:22 System.map -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4366896 Dec 24 08:22 vmlinuz-4.14.40.efi
I have also a kernel in:
boot/: total 6560 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2344508 Dec 24 08:22 System.map -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4366896 Dec 24 08:22 vmlinuz
What I noticed and don't know:
- when I installed grub, I got a warning that /usr/share/locale doesn't exists. I have created an empty folder.
- The grub configuration file "grub.cfg" is not on the same partition as grubx64.efi, because it's in /boot/grub/grub.cfg. Other files for grub are also in that folder. Is it a problem ?
- I have some doubts, but I changed a few options in the kernel. All options for uefi where compiled in the kernel, not as module. I have also set the command line argument in the kernel with a PARTUUID:
[*] Built-in kernel command line
(root=PARTUUID=55898d79.........e0709) Built-in kernel command string
Do I need to create an initramfs ? All related UEFI options are not compiled as modules. By the way the PARTUUID is the partition of root, not my ESP partition. Finally, the output of efibootmgr:
----------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------
Without the installation media it boots to Boot0002, the string "03c08c95-4adc-cf44-94af-95b81162c304" is the PARTUUID from the ESP partition. I don't know if it changes without the installation media.
At the moment, I'm stuck, thank you for your help! _______________________________________________ CRUX mailing list CRUX@lists.crux.nu https://lists.crux.nu/mailman/listinfo/crux
