Hello Furkan,

Thanks for signing up and posting :)

I suppose we are talking about ARM64:

We currently only support systems that use EFI. If there is an EFI BIOS, it will launch GRUB and hopefully return all required configuration to the kernel.

Do you have any output from the bootloader/kernel?

No, we only support a generic way to boot, because it is simply not feasible for us to provide hundreds of different images for all ARM boards out there.

https://git.ipfire.org/?p=ipfire-2.x.git;a=blob;f=lfs/grub;h=811c2f745e267e5ff6c246b66bc5f2196e12b780;hb=HEAD

This is how we install GRUB on x86 and ARM64.

Best,
-Michael
