It also has zero extra commands to help someone out when something goes wrong. In [1] I add more modules to the composite grub image to allow more features. This comes with only a very moderate increase in size. (The standalone composite image in [1] is out of scope for this request. See Bug#6307 for coverage of that.)

The other time is senario testing and socialization. 93455 2 randy.macleod 2022-06-09 15:19:50 +0000 Newcomer or Kevin if he ever has less to do in his WR work. 96924 3 randy.macleod 2023-10-24 14:24:44 +0000 Bulk move from 4.99 or 0.00 to 5.99 97258 4 alanp 2023-11-16 06:36:10 +0000 I have done a lot of work on networked and efi GRUB and could probably figure this out. However, this bug does not include a list of modules to add and the link to the composite grub image mentioned in elsewhere in this bug does not seem to work now. 98807 5 randy.macleod 2024-04-25 01:08:31 +0000 Move to 5.99 since no one is actively working on this issue. 98913 6 alanp 2024-04-25 04:18:06 +0000 I am willing to work on it if the list of modules was identified. 98920 7 randy.macleod 2024-04-25 15:41:39 +0000 Thanks Alan! I can't help with the list of modules so let's see if Kexin can. If not, pick a couple that you think are useful and testable I guess. 98928 8 kexin.hao 2024-04-26 11:06:16 +0000 Sorry, I also don't have the list of modules. 98930 9 randy.macleod 2024-04-26 13:23:57 +0000 Thanks for the reply Kexin. Bill, are you able to provide an initial list to Alan? 98960 10 randy.macleod 2024-05-02 14:54:34 +0000 Add Anuj, who may also be able to provide a list of modules to test. 98966 11 anuj.mittal 2024-05-03 01:55:30 +0000 The original bug seems to have been filed for Minnow board/32 bit and is quite old so the original list or steps might not be helpful anyway. May be we can look at the Ubuntu script: https://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/grub/+git/ubuntu/tree/debian/build-efi-images#n203 and see what they enable for network boot and enable and test? 99024 12 randy.macleod 2024-05-16 15:28:35 +0000 Bill, see Anuj's comment. 99026 13 alanp 2024-05-16 23:20:20 +0000 Can someone describe a list of scenarios that might go wrong where additional commands would help? I know what I needed when I was trying to resolve network boot problems but I don't want to limit this to what I found I needed. 101183 14 randy.macleod 2025-02-20 16:17:48 +0000 Bill, please retake if you have time to work in this.
