    <title>Description</title>

    <para><command>systemd-boot</command> (short: <command>sd-boot</command>) is a simple UEFI boot
    manager. It provides a textual menu to select the entry to boot and an editor for the kernel command
    line. <command>systemd-boot</command> supports systems with UEFI firmware only.</para>

    <para><command>systemd-boot</command> loads boot entry information from the EFI system partition (ESP),
    usually mounted at <filename>/efi/</filename>, <filename>/boot/</filename>, or
    <filename>/boot/efi/</filename> during OS runtime, as well as from the Extended Boot Loader partition if
    it exists (usually mounted to <filename>/boot/</filename>). Configuration file fragments, kernels,
    initrds and other EFI images to boot generally need to reside on the ESP or the Extended Boot Loader
    partition. Linux kernels must be built with <option>CONFIG_EFI_STUB</option> to be able to be directly
    executed as an EFI image. During boot <command>systemd-boot</command> automatically assembles a list of
    boot entries from the following sources:</para>

      <listitem><para>Boot entries defined with <ulink
      url="https://systemd.io/BOOT_LOADER_SPECIFICATION">Boot Loader Specification</ulink> description files

      Partition. These usually describe Linux kernel images with associated initrd images, but alternatively
      may also describe arbitrary other EFI executables.</para></listitem>

    <para>The boot menu is shown when a non-zero menu timeout has been configured. If the menu timeout has
    been set to zero, it is sufficient to press any key — before the boot loader initializes — to bring up
    the boot menu, except for the keys listed immediately above as they directly boot into the selected boot
    menu item. Note that depending on the firmware implementation the time window where key presses are
    accepted before the boot loader initializes might be short. If the window is missed, reboot and try
    again, possibly pressing a suitable key (e.g. the space bar) continuously; on most systems it should be
    possible to hit the time window after a few attempts. To avoid this problem, consider setting a non-zero
    timeout, thus showing the boot menu unconditionally. Some desktop environments might offer an option to
    directly boot into the boot menu, to avoid the problem altogether. Alternatively, use the command line
    <command>systemctl reboot --boot-loader-menu=0</command> from the shell.</para>

    partition which is typically mounted to <filename>/boot/</filename>, if it

        stored in the ESP (in <filename>/loader/random-seed</filename>) and a "system token" persistently
        stored in the EFI variable <varname>LoaderSystemToken</varname> (see below). During early OS boot the
        system manager reads this variable and passes it to the OS kernel's random pool, crediting the full
        entropy it contains. This is an efficient way to ensure the system starts up with a fully initialized
        kernel random pool — as early as the initial RAM disk phase. <command>systemd-boot</command> reads
        the random seed from the ESP, combines it with the "system token", and both derives a new random seed
        to update in-place the seed stored in the ESP, and the random seed to pass to the OS from it via
        SHA256 hashing in counter mode. This ensures that different physical systems that boot the same
        "golden" OS image — i.e. containing the same random seed file in the ESP — will still pass a
        different random seed to the OS. It is made sure the random seed stored in the ESP is fully
        overwritten before the OS is booted, to ensure different random seed data is used between subsequent
        boots.</para>

    <title>Boot Counting</title>

    <para><command>systemd-boot</command> implements a simple boot counting mechanism on top of the <ulink
    url="https://systemd.io/BOOT_LOADER_SPECIFICATION">Boot Loader Specification</ulink>, for automatic and unattended
    fallback to older kernel versions/boot loader entries when a specific entry continuously fails. Any boot loader
    entry file and unified kernel image file that contains a <literal>+</literal> followed by one or two numbers (if
    two they need to be separated by a <literal>-</literal>), before the <filename>.conf</filename> or
    <filename>.efi</filename> suffix is subject to boot counting: the first of the two numbers ('tries left') is
    decreased by one on every boot attempt, the second of the two numbers ('tries done') is increased by one (if 'tries
    done' is absent it is considered equivalent to 0). Depending on the current value of these two counters the boot
    entry is considered to be in one of three states:</para>

    <orderedlist>
      <listitem><para>If the 'tries left' counter of an entry is greater than zero the entry is considered to be in
      'indeterminate' state. This means the entry has not completed booting successfully yet, but also hasn't been
      determined not to work.</para></listitem>

      <listitem><para>If the 'tries left' counter of an entry is zero it is considered to be in 'bad' state. This means
      no further attempts to boot this item will be made (that is, unless all other boot entries are also in 'bad'
      state), as all attempts to boot this entry have not completed successfully.</para></listitem>

      <listitem><para>If the 'tries left' and 'tries done' counters of an entry are absent it is considered to be in
      'good' state. This means further boot counting for the entry is turned off, as it successfully booted at least
      once. The
      <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-bless-boot.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
      service moves the currently booted entry from 'indeterminate' into 'good' state when a boot attempt completed
      successfully.</para></listitem>
    </orderedlist>

    <para>Generally, when new entries are added to the boot loader, they first start out in 'indeterminate' state,
    i.e. with a 'tries left' counter greater than zero. The boot entry remains in this state until either it managed to
    complete a full boot successfully at least once (in which case it will be in 'good' state) — or the 'tries left'
    counter reaches zero (in which case it will be in 'bad' state).</para>

    <para>Example: let's say a boot loader entry file <filename>foo.conf</filename> is set up for 3 boot tries. The
    installer will hence create it under the name <filename>foo+3.conf</filename>. On first boot, the boot loader will
    rename it to <filename>foo+2-1.conf</filename>. If that boot does not complete successfully, the boot loader will
    rename it to <filename>foo+1-2.conf</filename> on the following boot. If that fails too, it will finally be renamed
    <filename>foo+0-3.conf</filename> by the boot loader on next boot, after which it will be considered 'bad'. If the
    boot succeeds however the entry file will be renamed to <filename>foo.conf</filename> by the OS, so that it is
    considered 'good' from then on.</para>

    <para>The boot menu takes the 'tries left' counter into account when sorting the menu entries: entries in 'bad'
    state are ordered at the beginning of the list, and entries in 'good' or 'indeterminate' at the end. The user can
    freely choose to boot any entry of the menu, including those already marked 'bad'. If the menu entry to boot is
    automatically determined, this means that 'good' or 'indeterminate' entries are generally preferred (as the bottom
    item of the menu is the one booted by default), and 'bad' entries will only be considered if there are no 'good' or
    'indeterminate' entries left.</para>

    <para>The <citerefentry><refentrytitle>kernel-install</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> kernel
    install framework optionally sets the initial 'tries left' counter to the value specified in
    <filename>/etc/kernel/tries</filename> when a boot loader entry is first created.</para>
