--- Comment #21 from Michael Chang
I'm not entirely clear on the steps.
Do I need to setup a local server for the url? No.
Or can I store the file in a different disk partition, Yes.
and use something like dud=disk:/dev/sda1/filename Use dud=disk:/filename, for example use "dud=disk:/bug-765198_new-grub2.dud" Linuxrc would try every disk and partition in turn to locate the file in specified path.
If succeed, you could switch to console 1 via Ctrl/ALT + F1 and see the message Reading driver update: disk:/bug-765198_new-grub2.dud Loading file:/mounts/mp_0000/bug-765198_new-grub2.dud (7122kB) - 100% Driver Update: Update with grub2/grub2-efi support beta2 Driver Update added: Update with grub2/grub2-efi support beta 2
I'm assuming that this is entered on the boot options line.
Yes. And don't forget insecure=1 as the dud is not signed.
Do I then need to do a new install, or is an update install (update booting) sufficient)?
It's up to you, whatever steps you tool to reproduce your problem.
If either works, then I would probably test both - a reinstall on my faster system and an update install on an older slower system.
