iPXE EFI with F12 prompt does not work

[power270]

iPXE EFI with F12 prompt does not work with custom built boot loader. It does work with bios boot loader.

Here is my script
#!ipxe
prompt --key 0x197e --timeout 4000 Press F12 for network boot... || goto no_shell
dhcp
login
chain http://${username:uristring}:${p.../menu.ipxe
exit

:no_shell
exit

What do you mean by "does not work"?

When I hit the F12 key it just exits the script.

It looks as though the function key definitions are missing from the ansi_sequences[] table in interface/efi/efi_console.c. You could try adding the relevant definitions there.

If you get it working, please send a patch to ipxe-devel@lists.ipxe.org.

Thanks,

I'm a ipxe newbie, but if you point me in the right direction I'll have try at it.

It's a small change. Already done!

Thanks Michael

Rebuilt ipxe.efi and it works perfectly.
