For fun and profit: after spotting the words #lilo and #loadlin in a #Linux #kernel build config help text I had to check how often the #LinuxKernel sources still refer to them…

eliasp@mastodon.social@kernellogger LILO - all I remember after some mistake in my lilo.conf is a bootscreen full of 010101010101010... that required a live-system to recover from, since there was no interactive LILO shell.

ljsAny arch that doesn't set CONFIG_MMU can set CONFIG_SELF_IMMOLATE_AND_DISAPPEAR also

ptesarik@fosstodon.org@ljs @kernellogger @lkundrak @vbabka I'd rather set CONFIG_SELF_IMMOLATE_AND_DISAPPEAR on myself in that case.

Like why it could not always be just shimx64.efi + linux.efi in a system with a single OS? I don't know the current existential reason for boot loaders in EFI environment so there could be something. I don't really care even about to ability to select snapshot. I boot with USB stick and fix the system instead ;-) Snapshots have limited granularity by fixing the issue I get better overall heal up.

vathpela@better.boston@gregkh @kernellogger @pinganini @jarkko yeah, if you're running a custom kernel build and don't need to manage any trust anchor for anything else, you can definitely just do this. Though it'd be nicer if you didn't have to build the initramfs /before/ the kernel.

jarkkoFor distribution case there are obvious reasons not to do it like that (all the reasons to update it without changing kernel).

To be totally honest, for machines located at my own premises I don't have secure boot enabled at all :-) I've started to use TPM2 tho for those because it gives a lot of convenience for headless machine booting up with hard drive encryption enabled. Secure boot gives me really, umh, not much anything at all.

chris@social.losno.co@jarkko @kernellogger @pinganini @jarkko Yeah, nobody needs to know when their data is silently corrupted anyway. Better left a mystery. Or I guess use dm-integrity.
