grub: avoid printing empty error messages

2023-11-05T21:59:52+00:00

this replaces the previous behaviour, which erred
on a specific value of grub_errno, which was a
problem if other types of errors used that value.

due to the way i patch out the prefix error messages,
this new patch ensures that only those errors are
silenced. all other messages will be printed.

further silence grub prefix errors

2023-11-05T17:30:33+00:00

it still printed "error: ." on screen, instead
of the prefix message.

now it's silent. it just says:

Welcome to GRUB!

grub: don't print messages if a module isn't found

2023-11-05T16:39:48+00:00

it can annoy some users, so just silence it. we don't need
a lot of modules so we only have a few, but some distro
grub configs can load modules frivilously.

grub: don't print prefix errors on the screen

2023-11-05T16:29:35+00:00

still set grub_errno, and behave the same, but don't
print anything. just carry on execution as normal.

grub.cfg: use better description in menu entries

GRUB: don't spew "Unknown key 0xff" in error

Faulty keyboards make GRUB unusable. Normally it happens
when a user plugs in a faulty USB keyboard, but if it's
the laptop keyboard, then GRUB becomes unusable and the
user cannot boot anything.

So, your laptop keyboard is a ticking timebomb if you use
GRUB; with this patch, that's no longer the case.

fix grub keyboard init on dell e6400 and e6430

2023-10-31T07:30:02+00:00

also, enable seabios_withgrub on e6400, but not grubfirst;
right now, we also support dgpu which would brick on
grubfirst. on my tested nvidia model, loading grub from
seabios worked, so i'm going to re-add seabios_grubfirst
functionality like in older libreboot revisions, enabled
selectively on a given target.

e6430 currently only has igpu support anyway, but i've done
the same thing there, in anticipation of future dgpu support.

e6400 and e6430 ec report scancode set 2 with translation
by default, but only actually output scancode set 1

grub is trying to use scancode set 2 without scancode
translation, so the key inputs get messed up

fix it by forcing scancode set 2 with translation, but
only on coreboot; other build targets on GRUB will
retain the same behaviour as before

courtesy goes to Nicholas Chin who inspired me, and
helped me to fix this. tested on Nicholas's E6400
and E6430, and my E6400; Riku also tested it on
non-Dell, as did I (some thinkpads), and all seems OK.

The new behaviour in coreboot GRUB is essentially no
different to that of SeaBIOS, which does the same.
