Looks like there are different opinions about what is the best setup. For reference, here is a discussion on the systemd list which indicates that they plan to mount the ESP at /boot: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2013-January/008273.html
AFAICT there are several proposals so far: 1. ESP at /boot/efi, separate /boot as usual, only bootloader in ESP 2. ESP at /boot/efi, /boot on /, bootloader in ESP, bootloader implements all features to access raid, lvm, crypto etc. itself. 3. ESP at /boot/efi, /boot on /, bootloader in ESP, bootloader setup script copies kernel&initrd to ESP. 4. ESP at /boot, bootloader (optional), kernel and initrd in ESP. kernel&initrd would need to be packaged in e.g. /boot/EFI/opensuse then.
1. and 2. require feature rich bootloaders like grub2 while 3 and 4 don't.
My 0.02 cents For none uefi firmware, there's no choice but either #2 or #1, so the solution can be considered "generic" .. (if bootloader can't support #2 then fallback to #1). For uefi, we could offer ESP on /boot as (better?) alternative to propose #1, it can't be any way better than #2 as that's the real meat. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
