Hi

I have the following problem. I have created with yocto a core-image-minimal for x86 which I could test with qemu.

later I added the following lines to conf/local.conf at the end according to the manual chapter 4.2.4:
IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " bash"
IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " strace"
IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " grub"

Bash and strace were installed correctly.
In the case of grub I couldn't find the directory /boot/grub.

/etc/grub.d is installed also the folder /usr/lib/grub

Question 1:
Which grub recipe does yocto install from  poky-denzil-7.0/meta/recipes-bsp/grub/
I would prefer version 1.99.

Questin 2:
Will yocto not install a /boot/grub directory?

I would appreciate any tips and tricks to install grub correctly in the core-image-minimal


Thanks a lot

Best regards

Juergen

Hello,

Look for /boot/grub/ in /dev/sda1
It should be there.

Dear Mihai,

I would expect that grub should be installed in core-image-minimal-qemux86.ext3
Grub couldn't be found when running the image with runqemu.

Any other ideas?

This depends entirely on the image type. We do not install grub on the
filesystem images as that won't result in a working system. GRUB must be
installed to the MBR or the VBR of a disk or partition.

The way this currently works is you build a live image (.hddimg) which
uses syslinux and provides an installer. The installer runs a script
which installs grub to the physical boot media.

Improving this process is part of a larger discussion on image types and
image creation tooling.

If the installer method does not work for you, please articulate the
reasons why and what would be a better solution for your use case.

Thanks,

Darren

Thanks for the tips.

As far as I know is at the moment the new grub default.
How can I configure back to the old version 0.97?

Best regards

Juergen

You could try with the standard PREFERRED_VERSION method, but I'm not
sure if the installer scripts deal with that intelligently.

Is there a reason you want to use the older version?
