Wrong custom code for grub2win - installation with wsl2 #2

Closed Lucaacer closed 1 year ago

Lucaacer commented 2 years ago

First of all, congrats for this brilliant solution., which allows me to istall debian on a MS surface go 2 without using an usb adapter and messing with partitions.

Anyway, please note that your script in wsl2 generates a wrong custom code for grub2win, which does not point to the right partition.

The right one is the following

img_part=/dev/nvme0n1p3
img_path=/Users/Utente/Downloads/debian.img
img_uuid=47b95074-87b0-4626-9d19-e758c95dc017
search --no-floppy --set=root --file $img_path
loopback loop $img_path
disk_type=loop
root_device=/dev/loop0p3
source ($disk_type,2)/linuxloops/config
kernel=$default_kernel
linux $kernel_prefix$kernel$kernel_suffix img_uuid=$img_uuid img_path=$img_path root=$root_device  rw quiet
initrd $initramfs_prefix$kernel$initramfs_suffix

Please note that /dev/nvme0n1p3 is the "normal" windows data partition (at least for my Surface go 2) because I placed the .img file in the Downloads folder without creating any special partition and /Users/Utente/Downloads/debian.img is the path to such file.

Now I will test chrome OS in the same way and eventually report the custom code that suits to my device.

Thanks as usual.

Closing the issue as it is old, the config was ok but the problem was that your windows was installed in MBR mode which is not supported.
