RE: Booting CentOS 7 via iPXE on UEFI (HP G9)
Hi MM,
Have been using "initrd=" in all of my UEFI testing. Still finding that things work when I replace the kernel & drivers with ones from ELRepo and do not work when using the standard releases from CentOS 7. Would be curious if this workaround does the trick for anyone else. This is on HP G9 hardware, DL380 specifically, in UEFI mode. Was unaware that multiple initrd files could be used. That's handy, thanks! Allen (2016-02-02 01:27)MultimediaMan Wrote: The message you are seeing occurs because the vmlinuz cannot find the initrd. Ah, unbelievable! There was an important bit of detail in MM's response that I almost missed. It turns out the method that I was using in our config files wasn't quite right. I'd inherited it from previous efforts and because it worked in many cases, including UEFI with an alternate kernel, it seemed correct. What I was doing: kernel blahblah initrd=foobar.img initrd foobar.img boot What actually works with the "out of the box" pxeboot files: initrd foobar.img chain blahblah initrd=foobar.img Better to know now than never. Hope this helps some others. Thanks, MM. Cheers, Allen (2016-02-02 01:27)MultimediaMan Wrote: The message you are seeing occurs because the vmlinuz cannot find the initrd. |
