Re: ostree host from scratch w/o anaconda

Hi Leandro,

Yes, we were able to make OSTree work with PhotonOS’s installer. It was very bumpy ride, but most helpful thing was looking at the anaconda logs inside /var/log in working OSTree system. 

Thanks,
Touseef

Hm, what were those?  Did you file any bugs/issues?
 
 
I am also open to use syslinux, as my use case is not that complex to require grub.
My best regards,
 
GNOME Continuous currently uses syslinux with a separate /boot partition.  See
this code:
 
Basically it boots qemu with a special systemd target.
 
Though honestly I'm forgetting now why we stopped using the
`guestfs_extlinux` command http://libguestfs.org/guestfs.3.html
 
But for my use of OSTree in Project Atomic, supporting bare metal deployments
(things like EFI etc.) and an array of storage formats is important, so integrating
with Anaconda made sense  (as opposed to having custom VM-specific code).
That said I'm open to improving things for cases outside of it.
