Tested with SKIP_LIMINE_VERSION_CHECK=yes - upgraded to Limine 12 successfully.

System boots fine with Secure Boot enabled and full BLAKE2B hashes in config.

Looks compatible so far, thanks!

@seryogakovalyov

I noticed that Limine v12 does not force config checksum enrollment for Secure boot, while the trunk version does. I am not sure whether this is simply disabled by default in v12.

The entry tool allows you to upgrade any custom Limine version if you enable SKIP_LIMINE_VERSION_CHECK=yes in /etc/default/limine

Limine 12 introduces Secure Boot hash enforcement, but limine-entry-tool already appears to generate the required BLAKE2B hashes correctly.

However, it currently blocks Limine ≥12 and skips EFI updates, leaving systems on Limine 11.

Might be worth confirming compatibility and relaxing the version check if everything is already in place.

since it's reported as autofs in findmnt, even though it is formatted as FAT32, limine-entry-tool won't add entries to Limine

findmnt is technically correct. autofs itself is not fat32, but it is a parent-directory that contains a submount with a filesystem such as fat32, depending on your autofs configuration.

If limine-entry-tool is inspecting a path of the parent-directory directly, it will only see autofs, not fat32, unless you change the mount path.

In this case, you should explicitly set ESP_PATH=[path/to/fat32] to the actual FAT32 mount point created by autofs — not the autofs parent directory itself (e.g., /efi as autofs), but the submount directory inside it (e.g., /efi/any_fat32_directory_name) where the FAT32 filesystem is actually mounted by autofs.

I have set up systemd automounting for my ESP and now, since it's reported as autofs in findmnt, even though it is formatted as FAT32, limine-entry-tool won't add entries to Limine. Is there any way to circumvent this? I'd like to keep systemd automounting, so my ESP doesn't get mounted when I hibernate and I can switch to Windows in dual boot setup. Thank you!
