10 Using GRUB with vendor power-on keys
|
||||
***************************************
|
||||
|
||||
Some laptop vendors provide an additional power-on button which boots
|
||||
another OS. GRUB supports such buttons with the 'GRUB_TIMEOUT_BUTTON',
|
||||
'GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE_BUTTON', 'GRUB_DEFAULT_BUTTON', and
|
||||
'GRUB_BUTTON_CMOS_ADDRESS' variables in default/grub (*note Simple
|
||||
configuration::). 'GRUB_TIMEOUT_BUTTON', 'GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE_BUTTON',
|
||||
and 'GRUB_DEFAULT_BUTTON' are used instead of the corresponding
|
||||
variables without the '_BUTTON' suffix when powered on using the special
|
||||
button. 'GRUB_BUTTON_CMOS_ADDRESS' is vendor-specific and partially
|
||||
model-specific. Values known to the GRUB team are:
|
||||
|
||||
<Dell XPS M1330M>
|
||||
121:3
|
||||
<Dell XPS M1530>
|
||||
85:3
|
||||
<Dell Latitude E4300>
|
||||
85:3
|
||||
<Asus EeePC 1005PE>
|
||||
84:1 (unconfirmed)
|
||||
<LENOVO ThinkPad T410s (2912W1C)>
|
||||
101:3
|
||||
|
||||
To take full advantage of this function, install GRUB into the MBR
|
||||
(*note Installing GRUB using grub-install::).
|
||||
|
||||
If you have a laptop which has a similar feature and not in the above
|
||||
list could you figure your address and contribute? To discover the
|
||||
address do the following:
|
||||
* boot normally
|
||||
* sudo modprobe nvram
|
||||
sudo cat /dev/nvram | xxd > normal_button.txt
|
||||
* boot using vendor button
|
||||
* sudo modprobe nvram
|
||||
sudo cat /dev/nvram | xxd > normal_vendor.txt
|
||||
|
||||
Then compare these text files and find where a bit was toggled. E.g.
|
||||
in case of Dell XPS it was:
|
||||
byte 0x47: 20 --> 28
|
||||
It's a bit number 3 as seen from following table:
|
||||
0 01
|
||||
1 02
|
||||
2 04
|
||||
3 08
|
||||
4 10
|
||||
5 20
|
||||
6 40
|
||||
7 80
|
||||
|
||||
0x47 is decimal 71. Linux nvram implementation cuts first 14 bytes
|
||||
of CMOS. So the real byte address in CMOS is 71+14=85 So complete
|
||||
address is 85:3
