There are a few undesirable properties to how boot entries are
currently sorted.
First, it sorts by entry file name only, which may not correspond
to the title that is shown (for exmaple because it is prefixed by
machine-id). The file ending will also create unexpected ordering
("arch-lts.conf" would come before "arch.conf").
While the list is sorted alphabetically ascending, it is also
lower version/priority first, which is unintuitive. In particular,
a boot-counted entry that is bad (0 tries left) will be at the very
top.
Additionally, the Windows and Mac loaders should be sorted with
the rest of the loaders.

<para><command>systemd-boot</command> (short: <command>sd-boot</command>) is a simple UEFI boot
|

<para><command>systemd-boot</command> loads boot entry information from the EFI system partition (ESP),

|
|
it exists (usually mounted to <filename>/boot/</filename>). Configuration file fragments, kernels,
|
|
initrds and other EFI images to boot generally need to reside on the ESP or the Extended Boot Loader

partition. Linux kernels must be built with <option>CONFIG_EFI_STUB</option> to be able to be directly

executed as an EFI image. During boot <command>systemd-boot</command> automatically assembles a list of

<para>The boot menu is shown when a non-zero menu timeout has been configured. If the menu timeout has
|
|
been set to zero, it is sufficient to press any key — before the boot loader initializes — to bring up
|
|
the boot menu, except for the keys listed immediately above as they directly boot into the selected boot
|
|
menu item. Note that depending on the firmware implementation the time window where key presses are
|
|
accepted before the boot loader initializes might be short. If the window is missed, reboot and try
|
|
again, possibly pressing a suitable key (e.g. the space bar) continuously; on most systems it should be
|
|
possible to hit the time window after a few attempts. To avoid this problem, consider setting a non-zero
|
|
timeout, thus showing the boot menu unconditionally. Some desktop environments might offer an option to
|
|
directly boot into the boot menu, to avoid the problem altogether. Alternatively, use the command line
|
|
<command>systemctl reboot --boot-loader-menu=0</command> from the shell.</para>

|

<listitem><para>A binary random seed <command>systemd-boot</command> may optionally pass to the
|
|
OS. This is a volatile EFI variable that is hashed at boot from the combination of a random seed
|
|
stored in the ESP (in <filename>/loader/random-seed</filename>) and a "system token" persistently
|
|
stored in the EFI variable <varname>LoaderSystemToken</varname> (see below). During early OS boot the
|
|
system manager reads this variable and passes it to the OS kernel's random pool, crediting the full
|
|
entropy it contains. This is an efficient way to ensure the system starts up with a fully initialized
|
|
kernel random pool — as early as the initial RAM disk phase. <command>systemd-boot</command> reads
|
|
the random seed from the ESP, combines it with the "system token", and both derives a new random seed
|
|
to update in-place the seed stored in the ESP, and the random seed to pass to the OS from it via
|
|
SHA256 hashing in counter mode. This ensures that different physical systems that boot the same
|
|
"golden" OS image — i.e. containing the same random seed file in the ESP — will still pass a
|
|
different random seed to the OS. It is made sure the random seed stored in the ESP is fully
|
|
overwritten before the OS is booted, to ensure different random seed data is used between subsequent
|
|
boots.</para>

<title>Boot Counting</title>
|
|
|
|
<para><command>systemd-boot</command> implements a simple boot counting mechanism on top of the <ulink
|
|
url="https://systemd.io/BOOT_LOADER_SPECIFICATION">Boot Loader Specification</ulink>, for automatic and unattended
|
|
fallback to older kernel versions/boot loader entries when a specific entry continuously fails. Any boot loader
|
|
entry file and unified kernel image file that contains a <literal>+</literal> followed by one or two numbers (if
|
|
two they need to be separated by a <literal>-</literal>), before the <filename>.conf</filename> or
|
|
<filename>.efi</filename> suffix is subject to boot counting: the first of the two numbers ('tries left') is
|
|
decreased by one on every boot attempt, the second of the two numbers ('tries done') is increased by one (if 'tries
|
|
done' is absent it is considered equivalent to 0). Depending on the current value of these two counters the boot
|
|
entry is considered to be in one of three states:</para>
|
|
|
|
<orderedlist>
|
|
<listitem><para>If the 'tries left' counter of an entry is greater than zero the entry is considered to be in
|
|
'indeterminate' state. This means the entry has not completed booting successfully yet, but also hasn't been
|
|
determined not to work.</para></listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem><para>If the 'tries left' counter of an entry is zero it is considered to be in 'bad' state. This means
|
|
no further attempts to boot this item will be made (that is, unless all other boot entries are also in 'bad'
|
|
state), as all attempts to boot this entry have not completed successfully.</para></listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem><para>If the 'tries left' and 'tries done' counters of an entry are absent it is considered to be in
|
|
'good' state. This means further boot counting for the entry is turned off, as it successfully booted at least
|
|
once. The
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-bless-boot.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
service moves the currently booted entry from 'indeterminate' into 'good' state when a boot attempt completed
|
|
successfully.</para></listitem>
|
|
</orderedlist>
|
|
|
|
<para>Generally, when new entries are added to the boot loader, they first start out in 'indeterminate' state,
|
|
i.e. with a 'tries left' counter greater than zero. The boot entry remains in this state until either it managed to
|
|
complete a full boot successfully at least once (in which case it will be in 'good' state) — or the 'tries left'
|
|
counter reaches zero (in which case it will be in 'bad' state).</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Example: let's say a boot loader entry file <filename>foo.conf</filename> is set up for 3 boot tries. The
|
|
installer will hence create it under the name <filename>foo+3.conf</filename>. On first boot, the boot loader will
|
|
rename it to <filename>foo+2-1.conf</filename>. If that boot does not complete successfully, the boot loader will
|
|
rename it to <filename>foo+1-2.conf</filename> on the following boot. If that fails too, it will finally be renamed
|
|
<filename>foo+0-3.conf</filename> by the boot loader on next boot, after which it will be considered 'bad'. If the
|
|
boot succeeds however the entry file will be renamed to <filename>foo.conf</filename> by the OS, so that it is
|
|
considered 'good' from then on.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The boot menu takes the 'tries left' counter into account when sorting the menu entries: entries in 'bad'
|
|
state are ordered towards the end of the list, and entries in 'good' or 'indeterminate' towards the beginning.
|
|
The user can freely choose to boot any entry of the menu, including those already marked 'bad'. If the menu entry
|
|
to boot is automatically determined, this means that 'good' or 'indeterminate' entries are generally preferred as
|
|
boot entries are tried in sort order, and 'bad' entries will only be considered if there are no 'good' or
|
|
'indeterminate' entries left.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The <citerefentry><refentrytitle>kernel-install</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> kernel
|
|
install framework optionally sets the initial 'tries left' counter to the value specified in
|
|
<filename>/etc/kernel/tries</filename> when a boot loader entry is first created.</para>
