Display bug with console/PNG feature
I'm using ipxe.efi compiled on Ubuntu (approximately one week ago).
When booting windows from an iscsi target (SANBOOT) the display is unreadable. I have traced the issue to the following command in my ipxe menu script - console --picture ipxe.png Commenting out this line removed the issue. Screenshots of the problem - http://mistyprojects.co.uk/screenshots/2019.05.20_1.jpg http://mistyprojects.co.uk/screenshots/2019.05.20_2.jpg This bug/error was discovered when installing windows to an iscsi target by booting into WinPE (SANHOOK target and booting via wimboot) and running setup.exe. Stage 1 of setup (selecting the target disk and applying install.wim, etc) completed fine and the display was rendered properly. Following the reboot and starting stage 2 resulted in the display issue. I lengthy thread I started on the reboot.pro forum documents my setup and this issue in much more detail - http://reboot.pro/topic/22026-sanboot-wi...efi-system Misty P.s. let me know if there is anything I can do to try and trace the issue, or if any more details are required. |

RE: Display bug with console/PNG feature
which arguments are you using to wimboot?
Have you tried removing the image / reseting console before starting wimboot? Use GitHub Discussions VRAM bin |

The issue is encountered during the second stage of Windows setup (and also when booting an installed Windows) after issuing a SANBOOT command. wimboot is not used at all during this stage. I am happy to try resetting the console - can you provide an example command for me to try when I get home. Misty |

No issues with wimboot. iPXE menu entry for stage 1 (used to run Windows setup.exe) - Code: set gateway 0.0.0.0 Thanks for the tip about clearing the console. Adding the following to my menu entry worked - Code: console Full menu entry for stage 2 (SANBOOT) with console command now added to clear the console - Code: console Misty |

RE: Display bug with console/PNG feature
So no gui on the wimboot lne, could you try with gui on the wimboot line?
I would expect you to get the same result there as well - just looking for a reproducable test case. Great hearing that console clears it, maybe this is something that should be handled by iPXE boot part, or wimboot Use GitHub Discussions VRAM bin |

The full menu that can hopefully be used to reproduce the display bug is contained below. I should also mention for those that do not want to trawl through the lengthy thread on reboot.pro that this display bug was encountered with a Client system booting in UEFI mode with CSM disabled. Stage 1 (menu item iscsia) booted fine and the display bug was not encountered. Stage 1 (SANHOOK the iSCSI Target and boot WinPE) was used to install Windows - using Windows setup.exe. After setup completed an automatic reboot occured. The bug occurred when booting Stage 2 (menu item iscsib), executed after the Stage 1 reboot. Interestingly during one of my tests (after adding a displaybootmenu yes entry to the BCD store) a boot menu was correctly displayed followed by a Windows background image for a few seconds, then the console bug was encountered and I was not able to read the display. Hope this makes sense. Misty Code: #!ipxe |
