Subject: [PATCH] grub-install: disable support for EFI platforms
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For each platform, GRUB is shipped as a kernel image and a set of
|
||
|
|
modules. These files are then used by the grub-install utility to
|
||
|
|
install GRUB on a specific device. However, in order to support UEFI
|
||
|
|
Secure Boot, the resulting EFI binary must be signed by a recognized
|
||
|
|
private key. For this reason, for EFI platforms, most distributions also
|
||
|
|
ship prebuilt EFI binaries signed by a distribution-specific private
|
||
|
|
key. In this case, however, the grub-install utility should not be used
|
||
|
|
because it would overwrite the signed EFI binary.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The current fix is suboptimal because it preserves all EFI-related code.
|
||
|
|
A better solution could be to modularize the code and provide a
|
||
|
|
build-time option.
|
||
|
|
|
||
