  • No more boot loader: Please use the kernel instead

    My previous laptop was a Chromebook running Linux+Coreboot. Unfortunately the usual Tianocore UEFI BIOS people use had some bugs in the nvme and keyboard drivers, which I gave up fixing or working around (at the time). Obviously Linux had working drivers because that's all ChromeOS is, so we setup a minimal Linux install as the Coreboot payload in the firmware flash, and I wrote a little Rust TUI to mount all visible partitions and kexec anything that looked like a kernel image. It worked like a charm and had all kinds of cool features, like wifi and a proper terminal for debugging in the BIOS! Based on that experience I don't see any reason why we don't just use Linux direct instead for everything. Why duplicate all the drivers?

    The code is here although it hasn't been touched it years: https://gitlab.com/samsartor/alamode-boot
