Description

You don't have any BLS entries that boom can currently load: we have a few options here, including ignoring them (i.e. boom will only deal with the entries that it has created), or allowing them to be used read-only (you can only clone the system provided entries, not edit them). Unfortunately these changes broke so late that we have not been able to make any changes for 8.0: there are a few minor changes that we could make that would make things less confusing for end users but some of this crosses components, and we will not be able to make any bigger changes until 8.1. Maybe Marko meant the WARNING? I get that, too. Right after installing boom-boot, `boom list` says # boom list WARNING - Could not load BootEntry '/boot/loader/entries/7b5128c16c4c4526ba5f8a834bd7f1cc-4.18.0-57.el8.x86_64.conf': 'id' WARNING - Could not load BootEntry '/boot/loader/entries/7b5128c16c4c4526ba5f8a834bd7f1cc-0-rescue.conf': 'id' and these stay around even after creating entries: # boom list WARNING - Could not load BootEntry '/boot/loader/entries/7b5128c16c4c4526ba5f8a834bd7f1cc-4.18.0-57.el8.x86_64.conf': 'id' WARNING - Could not load BootEntry '/boot/loader/entries/7b5128c16c4c4526ba5f8a834bd7f1cc-0-rescue.conf': 'id' BootID Version Name RootDevice 5fef6eb 4.18.0-57.el8.x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux /dev/rhel/rollback1 These warnings are due to the fact that late in the RHEL8 development process the system boot mechanism was switched from entries in grub.cfg to using the BLS facility. Up until this boom was the only user of BLS in the base distribution so we have been in catchup to make these work cleanly side-by-side. We should be able to make a change for GA to reduce the log level of these messages (and the system BLS entries will not appear in boom tool output in 8.0) so users will not see this when running the tool. We will also be working for a later release to support the system entries in boom as read-only: the user will be able to clone them and use them as the basis of new entries, but not modify or remove them. That's what we're talking about: the warnings appear because the system entries have an extra key, 'id', that is not currently in the upstream BLS spec. These will hopefully disappear before GA and we will add support for manipulating them in a future update. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1661746 *** |
