ipxe in constant loop

[NiKiZe]

Code:

Next server: 192.168.0.5
Filename: ipxe.efi
tftp://192.168.0.5/ipxe.efi... ok
ipxe.efi : 863360 bytes [EFI]
iPXE initialising devices... ok

ipxe.efi is started before this as expected, it then does an dhcp request where it receives the server 192.168.0.5 and the filename ipxe.efi which it then boots - and it will do the same again.

What is happening is described here: http://ipxe.org/howto/chainloading#break...inite_loop
If you are using isc DHCPd the details are at: http://ipxe.org/howto/dhcpd#pxe_chainloading

about the cursor and not being able to type anything might be an uefi firmware bug.


If boot.ipxe is what you will end up using you can ofcourse embed that file into ipxe.efi and it will hopefully work as you want it to.
