multiplied EFI boot items #9

Closed glorg closed 2 months ago

The script duplicates kernel entries if system has more than one bootable partition.

For example, in case of following partition and kernel image set:

boot
└── EFI
    └── Gentoo
        ├── amd-uc.img
        ├── vmlinuz-6.9.6-gentoo-x86_64.efi
        └── vmlinuz-6.9.7-gentoo-x86_64.efi

/boot2
└── EFI
    └── Gentoo
        └── vmlinuz-6.9.6-gentoo-x86_64.efi

/boot3
└── EFI
    └── Gentoo
        └── vmlinuz-6.9.6-gentoo-x86_64.efi

expected result is 4 EFI entries.

the script will output:

 * Creating UEFI entry "0100" for "/boot3/EFI/Gentoo/vmlinuz-6.9.6-gentoo-x86_64.efi" found on "sdc1"...
 * No initramfs found for "/boot3/EFI/Gentoo/vmlinuz-6.9.6-gentoo-x86_64.efi".

 * No initramfs found for "/boot/EFI/Gentoo/vmlinuz-6.9.6-gentoo-x86_64.efi".

Thus, 7 entries. Note the image on last drive having 3 entries, and 2 on the 2nd drive. The reason is that variables 

kernel_images_old
kernel_images_new
partition_efis_main

are not reset and in case the same kernel is present on several drives, the resulting number of items is multiplied.. Can be solved like this

Unfortunately, with the changed code the issue with multiplying boot items is still present.

For these images present on the system:

/boot/EFI/Gentoo/vmlinuz-6.9.6-gentoo-x86_64.efi
/boot/EFI/Gentoo/vmlinuz-6.9.7-gentoo-x86_64.efi
/boot/EFI/Gentoo/vmlinuz-6.9.7-gentoo-x86_64-old.efi
/boot/EFI/Gentoo/vmlinuz-6.9.9-gentoo-x86_64.efi
/boot2/EFI/Gentoo/vmlinuz-6.9.6-gentoo-x86_64.efi
/boot3/EFI/Gentoo/vmlinuz-6.9.6-gentoo-x86_64.efi

created boot items are:

BootCurrent: 0100
Timeout: 1 seconds
BootOrder: 01F8,01F9,01FA,01FB,01FC,01FD,01FE,01FF,0200,0108,0109,010A,0107,0106

The issue seems to happen in case one and the same image (with the same name) is present on several partitions

Is fixed in the next version
