I'm using grub 2.06 on ubuntu 22.04 to create a simple rescue disk like so:
#! /bin/sh
rm -rf build
mkdir -p build
cp vmlinuz build/
mkdir -p build/boot/grub
cat > build/boot/grub/grub.cfg << EOF
insmod all_video
echo "loading font"
loadfont unicode
echo "font loaded"
sleep 5
set gfxpayload=keep
set timeout=-1
set timeout_style=menu
menuentry linux {
linux /vmlinuz
}
EOF
grub-mkrescue -o out.iso build
The resulting hybrid image can be booted in 4 different ways:
1. bios boot protocol, as a cdrom
2. bios boot protocol, as a hdd (say, a usb stick)
3. uefi boot protocol, as a cdrom
4. uefi boot protocol, as a hdd (say, a usb stick)
However, when booted in UEFI mode, loadfont will fail with:
error: no server is specified.
I'm not sure why grub would try to load something from the network; a couple
of observations:
- If you drop to a command line and execute all_functional_tests, you will see
additional failures related to the unicode font.
- The grub environment (as reported by "set") contains some network-related
entries that are not present when booting the same image in bios mode.
- If you load the font with the full path, grub won't complain (but, according
to the documentation, that shouldn't be needed).
