fallback initramfs entry?

opened this issue · comments

commented

I am new to limine but with the help of the Arch Wiki I have successfully setup a main Linux entry. My question is: is it possible to add a fallback initramfs entry like in the GRUB "Advanced options"?And if yes, how? TIA.

commented

Set module_path to fallback-initrd (which is typically present in ESP)

commented

@faiz-x ok, so I add something like/Arch 6.6 fallback and leave the cmdline unchanged, just point the module_path to the fallback initramfs? Also, what's the difference between limine and linux as protocol?

Yes.

You can read about the limine protocol here

Thank you, I tried to use limine but only linux worked.

That is normal. The limine boot protocol needs to be supported by the kernel, and Linux only supports the linux protocol.
