No kidding. Just ran into a glitch with grub on both uefi and legacy with kv-6.1.12 so rather than downgrade the kernel I opted out for taking a grub-git out for a cruise. It worked!!! I just got it working about half
an hour ago and am currently bringing everything back into sync on this overpriced toy.
kv-6.1.12? I'll have to go grab it.
At the moment LFS has the boot but if I run into trouble I'll boot with slackware.
What a pain but I think it'll be worth it.
Yep, I am just working on some depenencies for the desktop. I'm going to have a go at getting xorg and friends installed tonight. If I succeed I'll be building an xfce desktop tomorrow.
I just updated the kernel to 6.1.9 earlier today and I see
penguins here on my bios boot machine.
No love here yet but closing in on it. I currently have two legacy machines I can try it out on. I figure by the weekend I *should* have a working legacy boot but no promises on boot penguins as both are i915. I may switch one to a uefi later.
I don't see the penguins until the screen goes blank (kernel modesetting I think) and then they show up after that. I never saw them until I added the nouveau module.
I have the boot logo selected in ..
make menuconfig -> Device Drivers -> Graphics support
It's right at the bottom.
