(https://github.com/osresearch/heads) For some background: this system boots into a Linux environment, has scripts that parse the GRUB config, and boots into the final system using kexec. The Heads boot scripts do not currently support booting from a system with full disk encryption, so I'm attempting to boot manually to start (after which I can patch the scripts to replicate what I did). However, I'm running into some issues when attempting to boot into the new kernel - the moment I run kexec, I get no output onscreen from the new kernel: https://imgur.com/a/r2lFD7k I've tried adding the usual debug flags to the kernel command line for troubleshooting (debug, higher LOGLEVEL, earlyprintk to vga) with no change. I'm not too familiar with the Linux boot process beyond GRUB configuration and the like, and I'm running out of ideas... does anyone have any pointers on things I could try next?
