Yeah but the kernel is likely to be written across non-contiguous blocks on the filesystem, and then you need to keep the ordered list of all the consecutive blocks. You also need the same for the initrd. And it would have to be done on every new kernel install. Your proposal amounts to rewriting GRUB. -- _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected] Do not reply to spam, report it: https://forge.fedoraproject.org/infra/tickets/issues/new
