Is there a way to get iPXE from UEFI boot?

[karthikeayan]

Hi,

We are deploying OS using iPXE http support.
As of now we are changing default PXE into iPXE and continuing our deployment.

UEFI boot in HP Gen9 does not supporting the "undionly.kpxe" which we used in our normal server to get iPXE.

How to overcome this situation?

Regards,
Karthtik

You can try using bin-x86_64-efi/ipxe.efi. This is work in progress. It may or may not work for you at the moment, but should be stable and usable soon.

Thank you for the answer Mic.

I build iPXE using the source, when booting through network its getting iPXE, but after fetching the files from HTTP its throwing error as Input/Ouput error "http://ipxe.org/1d0e6198".
Also I did try with the "snponly.ipxe"(edited: snponly.efi) from this site "https://rom-o-matic.eu/". There I am getting error like "No such device http://ipxe.org/2c048087".

This error occurs when iPXE tries to boot the boot image.

Waiting for the fix.

snponly.ipxe is not a valid compilation target. It should probably be snponly.efi, but I'm not sure if that binary is working yet without the patches in the xcat repo on git.ipxe.org.

Sorry for the Typo, you are right.

I'm about to refresh my repo, but fyi I also now have to revert f473b9c3f66a2166129e1f60774f56e673423c5a to restore snponly.efi. With current git master of ipxe it works with my two patches and reverting that one still.
