similar to: EFI netboot to kickstart install

We have a working PXE setup. I've tried to adapt it to UEFI as per RHEL6 manual, but the client won't boot. Strangely, tcpdump shows that the client tries to download all files via tftp from the dhcp server rather than the tftp server (they are different). next-server is pointing to the tftp server. Any clues?

I am running an Intel x64 machine using UEFI to boot an SSD. Installing the latest yum update which includes grub2 and kernel 4.18.0-193.14.2.el8_2.x86_64 renders the machine unbootable, blank screen where grub should be, no error messages, just hangs. After some hours I managed to modify another bootable partition (containing older software) and boot it from there. After that, I? found out

Hi, I installed Syslinux 6.03 on Windows 2008 R2 for PXE Boot. Legacy Boot works fine. In UEFI PXE boot ( files taken from /efi64, syslinux.efi renamed to bootmgfw.efi ) the System boots up into menu correctly. In "default" I configured to either boot efishell.64 or bootx64.efi (Windows PE). But I get following error if I select on to boot: Invalid boot signature 0x00,

Hello there, Dell XPS-15-9560 laptop (SSD drive, UEFI, secure boot off).. Windows 10 pre-installed, CentOS7 installed in a separate partition and running for months w/o issue. Don't know what happened but at reboot yesterday (not even booted in Windows, just rebooted), grub has disappeared, booted in Windows by default, which apparently has taken over the UEFI boot. By booting from a USB

I have been using syslinux-6.x along with isohybrid --mac and --efi option to create a usb hybrid iso with EFI support. The thing with EFI is that you'll need to use grub as your bootloader for EFI but isohybrid does setup the proper partition schema for EFI. You'll need to use the following to generate an iso that works. xorriso -as mkisofs -J -R -l -V some-vol-label \ -o ../image.iso

Goal: To have one USB drive capable of booting UEFI IA32 and UEFI X64 (with an optional Syslinux menu containing multiple entries). Problem (solved) #1: The default directory location for both syslinux.efi is the same. Solution #1: Rename each syslinux.efi to bootx64.efi and to bootia32.efi. Problem (solved) #2: Each syslinux.efi needs at least its respective ldlinux module. Solution #2:

Dear Experts, Could somebody point to kicstart HOWTO specific for CentOS 7? On CentOS 7 I somehow am always given human intervention questions about drive which defeats unattended ks install. <rant ??> I'm doing kickstart installations for quite some time, normally I was just installing system when new release comes, and am basing kickstart file on anaconda-ks.cfg - with some

I've been using various versions of syslinux as the boot loader for the g4l project that I have been the maintainer of since 2004. It was already using syslinux, so I've just updated it over the years, and currently have it use 5.10 version, but have done test builds with the 6.x versions. Recently had request from to users about EFI support, and one suggested that virtualbox has
