Systemd integrates gummiboot for boot safety

• queeerkopf 12y ago
  Gummiboot recently added support to create a single EFI executable that contains the /etc/os-release file, kernel parameters, bzImage and initrd [1] You should then be able to sign this file and configure UEFI Secure Boot so that only files signed by you can be booted. I guess that's the reasoning behind it. [1] https://plus.google.com/+KaySievers/posts/GisPmPBsqfK https://plus.google.com/+KaySievers/posts/GisPmPBsqfK

  Why don't they just directly integrate the Linux kernel while they're at it? (Not sarcastic, I'm seriously curious.)

    There is no way their coding standard etc would get past Torvalds?

      If they integrated the kernel into systemd then Linus wouldn't have any say over it. ;-)

        Ugh, i can see it already. Fork the kernel, and stop trying to get kdbus into the Torvalds maintained version...
