Migration from Arch AUR Package for building efi kernel blobls

07 November 2022, 17:27:31

I use Dell Latitude E7470. It doesn't support booting directly from efi using efibootmgr (GRUB fortunately works). Wiki says, to use this AUR package as workaround. But when I looked at the source code of “build_kernel.sh” on github source url there's line

Code: [Select]

...
EFISTUB=/usr/lib/systemd/boot/efi/linuxx64.efi.stub
...

This file is directly owned by systemd - hence Artix doesn't use it, this file does not exist on system. Is there any file to replace in shell script / alternate AUR package as workaround?

Get the latest systemd package from Arch, extract the said file and put it in /boot. Change the EFISTUB path of the script accordingly.
