I've got an empty /boot/EFI directory on the root system (/dev/sda2),
and a 256 megabyte vfat-formatted partition as /dev/sda1. Here's my
take on /etc/fstab...
(chroot) livecd ~ # cat /etc/fstab
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,users,noatime,async,ro 0 0
/dev/sda1 /boot/EFI vfat defaults,noatime 1 2
/dev/sda2 / ext3 noatime,nodiratime,async,user_xattr 0 1
/dev/sda3 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/sdb /mnt/drive0 auto noauto,users,noatime,async 0 0
/dev/sdb1 /mnt/drive1 auto noauto,users,noatime,async 0 0
/dev/sdc1 /mnt/drive2 auto noauto,users,noatime,async 0 0
/dev/sdd1 /mnt/drive3 auto noauto,users,noatime,async 0 0
I've got two scripts in /usr/src that I run from /usr/src/linux.
The script "makeover" is run just after "make menuconfig" and
includes (amongst other things)
make && \
make modules_install && \
cp arch/x86_64/boot/bzImage /boot/kernel.experimental && \
cp System.map /boot/System.map.experimental && \
cp .config /boot/config.experimental && \
lilo
...and the script "promote" includes...
cp /boot/System.map.experimental /boot/System.map.production
cp /boot/config.experimental /boot/config.production
cp /boot/kernel.experimental /boot/kernel.production
lilo
Obviously won't need the "lilo" command. Replace all references to
"/boot" with "/boot/EFI" and the kernels go to /boot/EFI which leaves
just the question of how to set up grub. I'd like a text-based menu
that defaults to the production kernel if no keypress after 15 seconds.
Question: does grub have to be re-run or otherwise re-initialised when
I overwrite a kernel with a newer one of the same name?
