systemd-boot support

[lovesegfault]

It'd be nice if systemd-boot, former gummiboot, was supported.

[mgorny]

Good news, everyone. I've started reviving the project, and this is next on my TODO list. So maybe tomorrow.

[prometheanfire]

tomorrow, eh?

[mgorny]

tomorrow, eh?

Don't you see the commit, though?

[prometheanfire]

I do, it looks like it's not finding my kernel because it was installed as linux and not vmlinuz as it expects.

[prometheanfire]

or being placed in a subdir of /boot/<machine_id> like /boot/<machine_id>/<KERNEL_VER>

magic number returned is ynam and not HdrS. However, my kernel version is also at 61440 bytes into the file and not 14848 bytes in.

[mgorny]

I guess you need to teach it how to find the (compressed?) kernel image.

[prometheanfire]

Ya, how to read the efi binary to find the kernel image and then from that read the kernel version (as I mentioned on irc last night).

If you need inspiration for parsing the PE file headers, I threw this together in a hurry - though I did this for self-practice and I don't mean to steal the show from prometheanfire. https://github.com/Jannik2099/eclean-kernel/blob/efistub/ecleankernel/file.py#L169

[prometheanfire]

I can confirm that the the edit seems to work. https://github.com/Jannik2099/eclean-kernel/commit/32b1a2d48813fec60826fa5f23a54c9ff4774588

[Jannik2099]

Oh, I'm positively surprised that this is in working condition, heh - I can't predict when I'll find time to work on this, so anyone may feel free to pick up from here.
