RE: iPXE does not exit properly and unable to boot locally
This is a problem with the existing PXE ROM on the machine. It (Intel Boot Agent) doesn't seem to exit properly when iPXE exits back to it. The reason sanboot --no-describe --drive 0x80 works is because it forcibly just skips that part of the Intel Boot Agent code and goes straight to the MBR of the first drive. You might want to find out if there is a firmware update for either the Intel Boot Agent or your BIOS (which probably includes it).
Using sanboot instead of exit is a kludge and should generally be avoided. Ask your server provider for an updated BIOS. I do know that someone in the razor community tried to create a list of machines that need this workaround. You should ask around. |
