Release notes

Kexec-Bootloader is a bootloader based on kexec and modified eupnea linux kernel mainly think for Chromebooks in mind.
The bootloader analyse a given grub.cfg to display a menu of options to boot. The path to this is given in kernel parameters.
Full support for root= specification (i.e. you can pass a root=PARTUUID=xxxxxx or root=PARTLABEL=xxxx, etc ...).
Since this is just a preview no boot process automation is set up to allow user to debug themselves.
Step to test it :

  • Sign and flash the image on ChromeOS Kernel Partition with as flags root={wherever is your grub.cfg on}
  • Boot
  • Sign in (user:root passwd:root)
  • bash /lib/kaboot/main.sh
  • Choose your entry
  • kexec -e with eventually some options
  • Enjoy !
