Description Alexander Larsson 2026-10-02 13:17:45 UTC 
As seen in by the failure in https://github.com/bootc-dev/bootc/pull/2527 bootc is currently using the chain module, which is built in on x84 and not on aarch64. We're looking at installing the external module on aarch64 as needed for this. However maybe it would make sense to include this on aarch64 as well?

Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Alexander Larsson 2026-10-02 14:59:25 UTC 
The chain module is going to be needed by anyone using grub to boot a UKI, which seems to be where everything is heading. So, it makes sense for this to be built in.
Comment 2 Leo Sandoval 2026-10-02 16:49:01 UTC 
Indeed it makes sense. I will include it.
Comment 3 Leo Sandoval 2026-10-02 19:59:32 UTC 
Alexander, I have proposed https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/grub2/pull-request/267 which is rawhide. 
I believe F45 would be a nice addition, correct?
Comment 4 Alexander Larsson 2026-10-05 07:15:28 UTC 
That lgtm, and yes, would be nice to have in f45.
