Why not we use grub2 to boot easyos?

[Thanos]

Limine is cool, but it need the uuid and it can not auto find out where is the easyos file.

Grub2 can search all disk partition to boot a linux, that is very simple and convenient.

Can we use a grub2 menu to boot easyos?

I think this way is better, because we need not know which partition contain the file, we only need know the file name, for example:

if search --file --set /EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi ; then
chainloader /EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi
fi

I am a new user of easyos and my english is poor, so maybe my question is foolish, please forgive me.

limine bootloader installer should be able to find /easyos, if tt is does not have to search too deep
you could re-run the installer if you already have limine installed and wish to add or move an install
the installer generates it's entries in uuid but limine also supports fslabel,

Please look at my post again, I updated it.

I want to write a menu for all ,not want to setup for only 1 disk partition.

OK,I try to read that, I know the fslable is work,but if I use this method or other mothod , how to write the KERNEL_CMDLINE? wkg_uuid is still required?

Other puppy ONLY need psubdir like wkg_dir, why easy need wkg_uuid for partition? I want to move easy from one partition to another partition but no change the configure file like limine.cfg, is it possible?

are you asking if you can have easyos on one partition and the wkg_dir, on a different partition?

if you move your install or wkg_dir, try re-running the limine bootloader installer
test and see as an experiment after backing up your wkg_dir to a removable disk.
