Fix abort loading NVIDIA SFS in initrd

December 03, 2023 — BarryK

This mechanism was posted about in this blog post:

https://bkhome.org/news/202311/abort-load-nvidia-sfs-if-gpu-missing.html

This is in Easy 5.6.4; however, it doesn't work. All NVIDIA SFSs get rejected. The test should be:

lspci | grep -qF 'Class 0300: 10de:'

The fix is in this commit:

https://github.com/bkauler/woofq/commit/0aefc2bade7cc88419c2e082db50db4be0a52e90

Now, with the next release of Easy, the NVIDIA SFS will not load if there is no NVIDIA GPU detected, otherwise will load. This is for booting a USB flash stick on different computers.
