Bootloader

Agama offers a reduced set of settings to change the bootloader configuration, although it is able to set it up correctly in many situations and architectures.

These options are defined in the bootloader section.

  • stopOnBootMenu: stop on the menu instead of booting the system automatically.
  • timeout: specify how many seconds the bootloader should wait on the menu before booting the default entry. Unlike AutoYaST, the timeout should be a positive number. If you want the bootloader to stop indefinitely, just set stopOnBootMenu to true.
  • extraKernelParams: additional kernel parameters.
  • updateNvram: defines whether the installer should modify the NVRAM (Non-Volatile RAM) to add or update boot entries or their order. If set to false, the NVRAM remains untouched, which is useful for preserving existing boot managers or specific firmware configurations.

bootloader: {
stopOnBootMenu: true,
extraKernelParams: "processor.max_cstate=1"
