Open Source Firmware Libreboot 20240126 Adds Support for New Hardware
After more than two and a half months in the works, Libreboot 20240126 is here to introduce support for new mainboards including Dell Latitude E6530, HP EliteBook 820 G2, HP Compaq Elite 8300 CMT, HP EliteBook 8460p, and the eDP variant of the Lenovo ThinkPad X220.
This release also introduces support for the GRUB 2.12 bootloader, as well as GRUB support for EFI system partition by implementing the ability for Libreboot’s GRUB payload to scan the GRUB configuration file from EFI/ directories. In addition to scanning GRUB configs, it can also scan directly for EXTLINUX and SYSLINUX configs.
