[syslinux] Problem boot PXE UEFI on HP ML350 Gen9

Hi All,

    My PXE configurations works fine for a bios PXE (the server in legacy
mode) but hangs in an EUFI mode. Look like  it can transfer the bootx64.efi
but not the next one ldlinux.e64


  Any ideas?

Thanks

Latest updates (including firmware) for the HP ML350 Gen9 were released 
on 2014DEC19 (v1.21); I would suggest double-checking that you are 
using the latest (firmware and related tools) version, before starting 
any other troubleshooting procedures.

Have you tested with official upstream binaries already included in the 
official archives downloaded from kernel.org (not from some particular 
build / 'make', neither from some (Linux) distro packages)? Please be 
sure to test with the latest version from kernel.org (v6.03 stable 
release, ATM).

Please remember not to mix versions. The version of the ldlinux 
module(s) shall match the same exact version of the bootloader.

BTW, there was a report here during 2015FEB about problems with one Hp 
DL380p Gen9 server. In that case, a specific filter for a pcap report 
was suggested. Unfortunately, there is/was no feedback in this Syslinux 
Mailing List about a possible resolution following that pcap report.

Regards,
Ady.

[syslinux] Problems PXE booting syslinux.efi on HP EliteBook 2560p / 8460p

Hi there,
I have experienced problems on HP Elitebook 2560p and 8460p 
latest firmware installed:
2560p 68SSU ver. F50. 08/04/2014 
8460p 68SCF ver. F50. 08/04/2014


PXE boot, syslinux.efi gets perfectly TFTP transferred, it nevers asks for
ldlinux.e64, and immediately gives up.

I have traced the problem to:

/syslinux-6.03/efi/udp.c\core_udp_open()
/syslinux-6.03/efi/main.c\efi_create_binding(&Udp4ServiceBindingProtocol,
&Udp4Protocol);
/syslinux-6.03/gnu-efi/gnu-efi-3.0/lib/hand.c\LibLocateHandle(ByProtocol, bguid,
NULL, &nr_handles, &handles);

When LibLocateHandle() try to locate EFI_UDP4_SERVICE_BINDING_PROTOCOL it fails
with
EFI_NOT_FOUND (14) which looks like an HP firmware issue. 
Newer versions of the HP Elitebook family like 2570p and 8470p PXE boot
syslinux.efi correctly.
Unfortunately this error does not display any error message on 6.0.3.

I wonder if this problem with HP EFI firmware affecting current but not the
newest hardware it's not
somehow related to the recent thread "Problem boot PXE UEFI on HP ML350
Gen9"
http://www.syslinux.org/archives/2015-March/023305.html
In this case the ldlinux.e64 is requested but never received even when offered
by the TFTP server.


Best,
Patrick

Looks like the usual.

I had exactly that issue last week, and solved it by changing my tftp
server (which happened to be CentOS 6) to the one on RHEL7 (tftp-hpa
5.2). THat last one worked whereas the previous didn't, without changing
anything else.

Hope it helps,
Bruno.
