Enforce the use of undi in ipxe - shahargli - 2014-06-15 21:31

Hello,

Is it possible to enforce the use of undi in ipxe when I use ipxe as a kernel (e.g. ipxe.lkrn)?

Not sensibly. When you load a Linux kernel image (e.g. ipxe.lkrn, or a real Linux kernel), the whole PXE/UNDI stack is unloaded before passing control to the image.

To reuse an underlying PXE/UNDI stack, you need to load something like undionly.kpxe, which is in the form of a PXE NBP.
