Description:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1587728#p1587728 The grub (2.02.beta2) we have does not include the later patch added for proper NVMe support, without it grub-install will appear to run fine but grub will be drop to rescue shell when boot, as long as --boot-directory (by default /boot) is on a partition of a NVMe drive. Since NVMe drive is getting common it is necessary to include this. Thing is I really think that we should not stay at 2.02.beta2 anymore. It cannot be more obvious that upstream has LONG dropped their release plan. It is awful to cherry-pick patches and included them one by one downstream, like how we deal with the recent-found CVE. |
This task depends upon
