Yes, I had problems with the defaults, the process was sitting on:
Trying to allocate 1011 pages for VMLINUZ [Linux-EFI, setup=0x107c, size=0x3f28d0] [Initrd, addr=0x7cbec000, size=0x224b4411] On 9/15/2015 2:03 AM, André Gemünd wrote:
I'm curious, did you have any problems with the defaults? It should actually just work. The DHCP template in /etc/cobbler has cases for the different bootloaders, e.g. class "pxeclients" { match if substring (option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 9) = "PXEClient"; if option pxe-system-type = 00:02 { filename "ia64/elilo.efi"; } else if option pxe-system-type = 00:06 { filename "grub/grub-x86.efi"; } else if option pxe-system-type = 00:07 { filename "grub/grub-x86_64.efi"; } else { filename "pxelinux.0"; } } If you call cobbler get-loaders, they are automatically downloaded to the correct location. The default kickstart with autopart should work as well. Greetings Andre ----- Am 15. Sep 2015 um 0:58 schrieb Zarko Dudic [email protected]:Hallo. I was successful in UEFI boot and install, here are details: 1) Cobbler server : 2.6.9 source: ?, ? build time: Fri Jun 12 07:42:24 2015 Cobbler is installed on Oracle Linux 6.6 2) I am installing Oracle Linux R6-U6-x86_64 on the Oracle Server x3-2 3) DHCP service is provided by another box, the config is: host my-hostname.domain.com { hardware ethernet 00:10:e0:aa:aa:aa; fixed-address 10.xx.xx.xx; next-server 10.yy.yy.yy; # my cobbler server filename "/grub/BOOTX64.efi"; } 4) How to find proper BOOTX64.efi file, read the doc: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E37670_01/E41137/E41137.pdf See the paragraph 1.4.7 (starts on page 9), the page 10 talks about UEFI-based PXE client. This is the key: UEFI-based PXE clients can use the BOOTX64.efi boot loader, which is available as EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.efi from the Oracle Linux 6 Update 6 Media Pack DVD image. So I placed BOOTX64.efi in <my_cobbler_server>:/var/lib/tftpboot/grub/ 5) I also have the file splash.xpm.gz in <my_cobbler_server>:/var/lib/tftpboot/grub/ 6) The file /var/lib/tftpboot/grub/00:10:e0:aa:aa:aa looks like timeout=10 splashimage=(nd)/splash.xpm.gz title OL-R6-U6-x86_64-UEFI root (nd) kernel /images/OL-R6-U6-x86_64/vmlinuz ksdevice=bootif lang= text ks=http://my_cobbler_server/cblr/svc/op/ks/system/host_name initrd /images/OL-R6-U6-x86_64/initrd.img 7) The kickstart file is # ks for OL 6.6 UEFI install text url --url=http://10.yy.yy.yy/cobbler/links/OL-R6-U6-x86_64 lang en_US.UTF-8 keyboard us rootpw --iscrypted $1$zw2wh8P1$zZMsVBx4.HbZNxM8p1uPX1 firewall --disabled authconfig --enableshadow --enablemd5 selinux --disabled timezone --utc America/Los_Angeles reboot bootloader --location=partition clearpart --all --initlabel part /boot/efi --fstype=vfat --size=200 --asprimary --ondisk=sda part /boot --fstype=ext4 --size=500 --label=/boot --asprimary --ondisk=sda part / --fstype=ext4 --size=8192 --grow --maxsize=51200 --label=/ --ondisk=sda part /var --fstype=ext4 --size=4096 --label=/var --ondisk=sda part /u01 --fstype=ext3 --size=4096 --label=/u01 --ondisk=sda part swap --size=16384 --label=swap --ondisk=sda %packages @base @core device-mapper-multipath kexec-tools net-tools pciutils sysfsutils system-config-kickstart wget lsscsi nfs-utils 8) Works for me.
