This is because we're not making the boot.img anymore... Can we create a boot.iso on ia64 that doesn't depend on the silly disk image? I would think that EFI could handle just a regular iso9660 filesystem, but haven't tried.
Oops. What I meant to say (me gud english) was: "It looks like the nightly ia64 rawhide builds are failing for some reason. The current boot.iso size is 34k in size which makes no sense at all. Looks like the boot.img file isn't being built?" and add the rest of that. >Can we create a boot.iso on ia64 that doesn't depend on the silly disk image? Hmmm ... I'll try this out with a known good ISO and see if it works :) P.
>Can we create a boot.iso on ia64 that doesn't depend on the silly disk image? I had never tried it and the good news it works. I'm tracking down why the boot.iso is 34k in size...
Jeremy -- I'm working on a patch to dynamically calculate the dosfs boot.img size and only create it in ia64. This patch will be based off the patch in BZ175095. I'm wondering if it is possible that other arch's (for whatever possible reason) might use EFI? (I'm not considering that for this patch ... just curious as to whether or not other arch's run it...) P.
Created attachment 123619 [details] Patch to re-add boot.img creation for EFI
Thanks for the patch. Please try the next Rawhide tree with an anaconda build (should be tomorrow's tree).
