Investigate what refkit is doing and what Cal is looking at for single EFI blob with Kernel I sent an RFC patchset to meta-intel which adds refkit's combo app. The combo app is capable of booting the kernel directly and should satisfy this need. V2 sent, see here: https://lists.yoctoproject.org/pipermail/meta-intel/2017-July/004821.html The combo app consists of an EFI stub, the kernel, the command line, and an optional initramfs. It can also be signed for secure boot purposes. Working well as of this commit: https://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-intel/commit/?id=625a588f70785cf777ec9fb072b127b126aba781 |
