Recovery screen when trying to chainload Windows on another drive

[Arthur Ostrowski]

Hi all,
i've run into an issue when trying to chainload Windows on a different drive from the drive limine is on.

Here is my working config:

timeout: 5
quiet: no
remember_last_entry: yes
interface_resolution: 2560x1440
interface_branding: Limine Bootloader
term_palette: 282c34;ff6c6b;98be65;ecbe7b;51afef;c678dd;5699af;dfdfdf
term_background: ff282c34
term_foreground: dfdfdf
editor_enabled: yes
editor_highlighting: yes
editor_validation: yes

Here the windows boot works by chainloading grub with timout 0, that then chainloads windows.
But when trying to chainload windows directly by changing the last line to:

image_path: guid(9cf95c4d-6a9e-43f6-9e08-3a4a1fc2a312):/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi

The Windows Boot Manager seems to successfully get loaded but instantly bluescreens and tells me that my windows installation is broken and to recover windows. The issue disappears when doing the janky workaround with grub.

Here is the blue screen:

Hi, sorry for the late reply, but I've been unable to reproduce the issue locally.

Ok thx, could be some local setting or something, just wanted to ask if it was something wrong with limine but it seems to be some Windows BS. Anyways I've already found the janky GRUB workaround for my system for the one time every half a year I have to use windows.
