Good Afternoon, As per the installation guide, section 30.2.2 I?ve created an efidefault file at /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux/pxelinux.cfg/efidefault However, this file is never requested by the 64 bit PXE loader (bootx64.efi), as shown by tcpdump: 75 RRQ "/pxelinux/42272635-0011-5053-ACF2-82A100E615F2" octet tsize 0 blksize 512 59 RRQ "/pxelinux/01-00-50-56-A7-BA-BF...

I'm able to EFI PXE boot if I specify filename "efi.x64/pxelinux.cfg/bootx64.efi"; in my dhcpd.conf file and set up a GRUB2-compatible efidefault file. But I'm not really interested in GRUB2!! I prefer the richer syntax of the SYSLINUX-based menuing system. What could be wrong? Oh, I've also tried lpxelinux.0 and gpxelinux.0. EFI boot client has Intel NIC, very new notebook.

...cpdump from the tftp server taken from server boot to hang plus waiting 5 minutes is posted at the bottom of this message. At first, I was thinking something in the routing structure was blocking tftp downloads from across the subnets, but if I use grub.efi, I see the requests and it downloads the efidefault file for grub. Using pxelinux.0 for legacy also works. Any ideas what could be blocking the tftp request for the config when using the different subnet? Any ideas on what I can try next to try and narrow down the communication issue? Thanks. Different subnet as tftp server: [root at orange test...
