Booting directly from the BIOS to Linux, without any bootloader :)

The support for that should be in Linux 3.3. Look for EFI stub.

  • Is there any way to set the kernel command line options other than at compile time?

  • @gidoca88 Yeah, you can specify the boot args with efibootmgr, but unfortunately it looks like there's a bug with long args, or at least that's what I encountered when I tried.

  • Can you upload the compiled package somewhere? Dropbox perhaps. BTW which PKGBUILD you used for this?

  • @ridikulusrat I didn't use any package, I compiled the kernel myself, like I have always done, on all distos :)
