Boot Managers / Re: Integrate Plop into Lubunt...

It works fine on my test machine.

Although it is not needed on machine, try also "set gfxpayload=keep"

Code Select Expand

exec tail -n +3 $0
menuentry "Plop Boot Manager" {
    set gfxpayload=keep
    chainloader /boot/pbm6-x64.efi
}

Boot Managers / Re: Integrate Plop into Lubunt...

No more error messages, it just stucks during loading.
8 core cpu, more than enaugh ram.

Used pbm6-efi-20230206, 194,2 kb of size.

Loading parameters missing or need another (test) version?

Tried:
exec tail -n +3 $0
menuentry "Plop Boot Manager" {
    chainloader /boot/pbm6-x64.efi
}

and
exec tail -n +3 $0
menuentry "Plop Boot Manager" {
     insmod chain
    chainloader /boot/pbm6-x64.efi
}

Is there any posibility to make linux16 availabe, or do I have to reinstall the whole multiboot system?

linux16 is missing because of efi.


This should work with PBM6-EFI, but I haven't tested it.

Code Select Expand

menuentry "PBM6-EFI" {
    chainload /boot/pbm6-x64.efi
}


When you already use GRUB2, I see no reason to use one of the Plop Boot Managers. GRUB2 has so many features and is stable.

The bios can do csm and efi. Lubuntu is loaded as efi. I saw there is efi variant of plop v6 available. It seems to be more difficult to start that from grub, could not figure it out.
Regarding missing linux6 - this might be connected to 64 bit variant of lubuntu or efi installation of lubuntu.

In the grubloader Windows is loaded as efi:

menuentry 'Windows Boot Manager (on /dev/nvme0n1p2)' --class windows --class os $menuentry_id_option 'osprober-efi-CE3B-ED64' {
   insmod part_gpt
   insmod fat
   search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root CE3B-ED64
   chainloader /efi/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi
}
Lubuntu by initrd:
'Advanced options for Ubuntu' $menuentry_id_option 'gnulinux-advanced-91a7a2cb-32eb-43c7-975c-bd68488ba99b' {
   menuentry 'Ubuntu, with Linux 6.2.0-39-generic' --class ubuntu --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os $menuentry_id_option 'gnulinux-6.2.0-39-generic-advanced-91a7a2cb-32eb-43c7-975c-bd68488ba99b' {
      recordfail
      load_video
      gfxmode $linux_gfx_mode
      insmod gzio
      if [ x$grub_platform = xxen ]; then insmod xzio; insmod lzopio; fi
      insmod part_gpt
      insmod ext2
      search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 91a7a2cb-32eb-43c7-975c-bd68488ba99b
      echo   'Loading Linux 6.2.0-39-generic ...'
      linux   /boot/vmlinuz-6.2.0-39-generic root=UUID=91a7a2cb-32eb-43c7-975c-bd68488ba99b ro  quiet splash $vt_handoff
      echo   'Loading initial ramdisk ...'
      initrd   /boot/initrd.img-6.2.0-39-generic
   }
Memtest:
Was based on a "insmod dos" varant, seems to have dissapered.

Yes, I have read your documentation. Unfortunately I am not skilled enaugh to find out how to make efi work.I fully understand you cannot go into details with that range of projects. The most simple working menuentry would be great.

Boot Managers / Integrate Plop into Lubuntu 22...

Last post by Xeubuntu - January 02, 2024, 06:49:58 AM

After spending more than on day to find out working menuentry for ubuntu@
/etc/grub.d/40_custom

exec tail -n +3 $0

menuentry "Plop Boot Manager" {
   insmod part_gpt
   insmod ext2
    linux /boot/pbm6
}
I am stuck at kernel to old message now. No matter if bpm6 or plpbt.bin (tried newest and oldest) was tried to load.

Any ideas?

Hallo Elmar,

ich wünsche ein gesundes neues Jahr 2024!

Vielen Dank für die Antwort/Hilfe. Okay, dann teste ich einmal die andere ISO. Da habe ich wohl die ISO verwechselt. Danke

LG

Hallo,

du verwendest das falsche ISO. Ich nehme an, du hast das ISO plpbtin.iso aus dem install Verzeichnis verwendet. Du brauchst aber das ISO plpbt.iso. Die Datei befindet sich eine Verzeichnisebene höher.

plpbt.iso = LiveCD
plpbtin.iso = Festplatten Installations CD
