Debian UEFI build
stefangweichinger opened this issue · comments
A general question:
Did you lately test base-uefi.pkr.hcl ? I try to get that working (Debian 11.3) with VirtualBox on my Fedora system and see various issues. The boot_command seems not to work anymore etc.
Just asking if that build works for you, @tylert ... thanks!
I don't currently have a nice way to test these templates at the moment as I'm currently working on mostly ARM machines these days.
If you're stuck for a working image, there's also pre-built ones like https://cloud.debian.org/images/cloud/bullseye/daily/20220531-1032/ available too. See https://cloud.debian.org/images/cloud/ for details about how to use these as regular VMs.
OK, understood. Thanks for the link to the cloud images. I have a working packer setup for Debian 11.3 non-uefi already, so I am good with that. I just played with creating a UEFI-variant and noticed that it's not so easy to add that. The boot_command needs to be different, the partitioning, etc. I tried to pick from your setup but wasn't successful so far. But it's no "have-to" here, just hacking around.
Might be fixed by #42.
Haven't heard about the status of this issue for a while now. Looks like this issue might not be a problem anymore. Closing.
