Description
When booting Linux on PowerVM LPARs, there are unique characteristics vs UEFI-based systems that developers must consider. Expanding on last year's talk that discussed booting without a bootloader, this talk explores additional aspects of booting Linux on Power, current platform status, and potential future enhancements. Topics include verified and measured boot with PQC, proposals for bootloader-less boot support, thoughts on QEMU secure boot, and more. Attendees will learn about some problems and solutions that, although particular to PowerVM LPARs, may provide more general cross-architecture insights.
