Talk:Unified kernel image
mkinitcpio
All mkinitcpio info was ruthlessly copied from [1] Not sure how to reference this.

Mkinitcpio still also creates regular initramfs
The linux.preset file leaves both the regular initramfs files and the .efi binary. Might need adapting so that only the .efi file is left in the end, but not sure about that.

- Now you can use kernel-install (with layout=uki mode) instead of mkinitpcio and that will only generate .efi files. I have added a section about this. 05storm26 (talk) 10:09, 12 December 2022 (UTC)
Keep sbctl pacman hook with kernel install?
The kernel-install section stubs out the sbctl pacman hook. Is this a good idea? The kernel-install plugins only sign the kernel after all, so presumably folks would still use sbctl to keep their boot loader signed, at least. Disabling the hook could perhaps silently render systems unbootable under secure boot, because an unsigned bootloader copy ends up on /efi.
