iPXE Version - sdlewis - 2013-09-27 14:53
Hope someone can help as I am a little lost at the moment. I have pulled down (yet again) the latest copy of iPXE, compiled with :
make bin/ipxe EMBED=bootstrap.ipxe
Are we compiling incorrectly? Everything succeeds, but when I boot and Ctrl-B and enter show version I only ever see iPXE 1.0.0+ with no revision in brackets.
If I download the ipxe.pxe file from http://boot.ipxe.org and use that, I can see iPXE 1.0.0+ (7405). I actually see a revision number, am I being dumb here, or is this an issue when you compile with an embeeded script?

The revision number will be present only if you built from a git checkout using e.g.
Code:
git clone git://git.ipxe.org/ipxe.gitIf you are building from a tarball, then no version control information is available and so the revision number will not be included within the binary.
Hope that helps,
