Loading efi file via grub - ChrisLucas29 - 2018-10-29 10:45

Hello,

I'm trying to run an efi file made like this in grub :

Code:

make bin-x86_64-efi/ncm--ecm.efi

But I'm getting an error

Code:

initrd /boot/ncm--ecm.efi

error: you need to load the kernel first

That is in grub correct? Have you checked the grub documentation?
Based on other reports it seems that grub is broken in it's ability to chain other efi executables. (even if you where to fix the initrd issue) do remember that iPXE is a bootloader, so it should be loaded as a program.
