 Posted: Tue Sep 03, 2024 11:23 pm Post subject: Grub cant find files on the ESP partition. |
 |
|
I have been trying to reinstall the Gentoo kernel (because of a separate screw-up) and during boot Grub reports the error below.
| Code: | Booting 'Gentoo GNU/Linux'
Loading Linux 6.6.47-gentoo-dist.efi ...
error: file '/EFI/Linux/gentoo-6.6.47-gentoo-dist.efi' not found.
|
This error fails to make sense as the grubx64.efi is on the same partition. A tree of the partition is below.
| Code: | (chroot) livecd / # tree /efi
/efi
└── EFI
├── gentoo
│ └── grubx64.efi
└── Linux
├── gentoo-6.6.47-gentoo-dist.efi
└── gentoo-6.6.47-gentoo-dist-old.efi
|
I am not a stranger to Gentoo, but this has stumped me for a week.
Below I am including details that give a better idea as to the kernel install.
| Code: | livecd /home/gentoo # blkid | grep nvme0

Could you post the contents of the grub.cfg file?

File /boot/grub/grub.cfg is telling GRUB to look for /EFI/Linux/gentoo-6.6.47-gentoo-dist.efi in partition 2 (filesystem UUID 1c43520d-635f-44b1-af1c-40e85a2f6562) instead of the ESP (partition 1). How did you create this file?

The file was created when I emerged sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel with the grub USE flag enabled for sys-kernel/installkernel.
If I understood the handbook, then the installkernel scripts would install the kernel, initramfs and the bootloader configuration. But after what you spotted, it now seems to be screwing up the GRUB configuration. |

The kernel should not be on the ESP to begin with when using GRUB.
Could you please share the output of:
emerge -pv sys-kernel/installkernel
and
emerge --config sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel
[EDIT]Do I see correctly that you are building Unified Kernel Images? Those should indeed be on the ESP, but the support for Unified Kernel Images in GRUB is a bit experimental and flaky. One problem is that you can run into this situation where grub-mkconfig incorrectly identifies the partition the UKI is on (it thinks it is in /boot). A work-around is to mount the ESP at /boot, another solution is to set GRUB_DEVICE_BOOT or GRUB_DEVICE_BOOT_UUID to your ESP in /etc/default/grub (untested).

As requested, the output of the two commands is pasted below.

I have laso attempted both of the suggested workarounds (ESP mounted to /boot or GRUB_DEVICE_BOOT_UUID) and found that the grub.cfg file continued to reference partition 2. It feels like I am cursed. |

Don't worry, it's not a curse, GRUB simply is not properly compatible with UKIs (yet). If you take a look at /usr/lib/kernel/postinst.d/91-grub-mkconfig.install you can see how I sort off tried to make it work with GRUB_LINUX_KERNEL_GLOBS. When I tested this on my system grub-mkconfig created a proper grub.cfg for me, but what this really needs is a proper fix upstream instead of a hack in a postinstall script.
I'd recommend either systemd-boot or refind for UKIs. Note that building an UKI requires systemd-stub which, for build system reasons, is toggled by the same flag as systemd-boot (USE=boot), so you already have all the tools present to boot with systemd-boot (simply 'bootctl install' and you should be good to go).

Well... I attempted everything over again, this time using rEFInd.
When booting after the gui for rEFInd, everything stops and the following is near the top of the terminal.
| Code: | dracut: FATAL: no or empty root= argument
|
This seems important. So I dived into /boot/refind_linux.conf and found this.
| Code: | "Boot with standard options" "BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/gentoo nodhcp secureconsole root=live:CDLABEL=gentoo-amd64-livegui rd.live.dir=/ rd.live.squashimg=image.squashfs cdroot"
"Boot to single-user mode" "BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/gentoo nodhcp secureconsole root=live:CDLABEL=gentoo-amd64-livegui rd.live.dir=/ rd.live.squashimg=image.squashfs cdroot single"
"Boot with minimal options" "ro root=/dev/nvme0n1p2"
|
The root entries of the first two lines looks wrong.
And the root entry of "minimal options" seems reliant on the /dev entry of the NVME, which I have seen change in between boots. Probably due to multiple NVME drives. For example, right now the /dev entry is /dev/nvme1n1p2. |

What has probably happened here is that the cmdline section of your UKI is either empty or contains the cmdline extracted from /proc/cmdline (i.e. the cmdline of the currently running kernel, i.e. the cmdline of the livecd).
The cmdline you do want to use should be specified in /etc/kernel/cmdline. Only GRUB has automated determination of the root= parameter for the cmdline, other bootloaders, UKI generators, etc take the cmdline from config file or from /proc/cmdline (and you should therefore set an appropriate root= manually). Note that the cmdline embedded into the UKI can be overridden by the bootloader (if secureboot is not enabled) so you might want to change /boot/refind_linux.conf as well (not sure as I do not use refind myself). I recommend choosing one place to set it so it is not confusing later, so either set /etc/kernel/cmdline and ensure refind does not override this, or create an empty /etc/kernel/cmdline and ensure refind passes on a correct cmdline.

Oh thank Zeus..
Andrew thank you so much. I now have the kernel loading and a functioning terminal.
For those of you curious what I did, I updated two files to cover my bases.
It was true that the /etc/dracut.conf.d/uki.conf file did not have an entry for kernel_cmdline. In the Handbook I didn't spot any suggestions or requirement that it be used and thus left it blank. But now it has the line below. | Code: | | kernel_cmdline="root=PARTLABEL=rootfs" |
The other file, /boot/refind_linux.conf, was manually edited to replace the 'root=' entries.
Hopefully that covers my needs for the future.
Once again, thank you for your patience and expertise. |

Great to hear that it is working now!
I added a little note to the handbook explaining that we usually need at least a root= in the UKI command line: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64/Installation/Kernel#Optional:_Unified_Kernel_Image
