Linux EasyCSMWrap arriva come soluzione elegante per far partire sistemi BIOS legacy su macchine moderne prive di CSM. Un’app EFI che integra SeaBIOS e riporta in vita vecchi OS su hardware UEFI‑only. #CSMWrap #UEFI #Linux #OpenSource #EFI
Bruce Simpson, Ph.D.To migrate #FreeBSD guest VMs from #Hyper-V to #libvirt/#KVM:
* Convert to .qcow2 from .vhdx at host, using #Cloudbase.it #qemu-img.exe.
On import:
* Choose FreeBSD 14.2 as OS.
* Choose Q35 as chipset.
* Choose BIOS.
* Import disk image as #VirtIO disk; change to SCSI.
* Add missing virtio-scsi controller.
* Apply "stateless" #EFI <os> from libvirt docs, to enable EFI non-secure boot without XML schema errors.
* Boot the FreeBSD guest.
* Edit /etc/rc.conf to use #vtnet(4), not hn(4).

nickbeardedAfter way too many attempts, I finally got a custom GRUB2 EFI bootloader built with Buildroot showing a splash image at boot on real hardware 🎉
The secret? insmod gfxterm_background + font in the right path.
Simple in theory, painful in practice 🤕

This week has been full of major improvements to my #Linux setup across my #ThinkPads. I now have:
1. Significantly faster boot times due to quicker #LUKS decryption by separating out #boot and #EFI into separate volumes.
2. Upgrade from #LUKS1 to #LUKS2 (while most of the rest of my setup)
3. Better visuals for LUKS passphrase prompts using (finally) #plymouth
I couldn't have asked for more improvements in barely two days.
