Dear Maintainer, I am booting from an arm64 laptop, with secureboot turned off, and I need to provide a devicetree blob for the time being. I adjusted flash-kernel database, to install device tree blob into /boot, however 10_linux in grub doesn't automatically pick it up. The attached patch adds tests in 10_linux, similar to how initrd is detected and generates menu entries with devicetree command and I manage to boot and upgrade kernels on arm64 laptop. Please consider including this patch in Debian. Regards, Dimitri.
Could you please send this patch upstream (rebased as necessary) first? We can then cherry-pick it, but I don't see why this would need to be Debian-specific. Thanks,
Hi, There are more and more arm based laptops coming to market. I bought mine a year ago, a Lenovo Thinkbook 16 with an x1p42100 chip. I'm growing a bit tired managing grub config by hand, can we just adopt the dtb patch? Upstream seems a bit clueless wrt devicetrees...
