Another Limine bug bites the dust

July 06, 2022 — BarryK

Some EasyOS testers have been reporting to me by email, instead of via the forum. We had two boot failures, reported by Reynaldo and Alfons.

Limine is a relative newcomer, compared with booloaders like refind, grub4dos and grub2, so is expected to have issues. There is a lot of peculiar PC hardware out there.

Limine will not boot on Reynaldo's Fujitsu Futro laptop, and the problem remains unresolved:

Alfons was having boot failure on a Dell D630, and mintsuki, the lead Limine developer, has a fix:

...that is a theoretical fix, we haven't confirmed it yet.
