I’ve also been wondering about that. Comparing the patches, I believe that, when skipping the menu, the only difference is that Jarek additionally sets the sname field, while I only set siaddr and file. I think Jarek said that without sname, some of his clients didn’t boot. I think it would be fine to add the sname line to my patch and hopefully that should fix Jarek’s clients too without needing all that pxe_skip_menu code. > Michael's path sets the boot filename to <name>.efi rather than <name>.0 > when the CSA is "IA32_EFI", "BC_EFI", "Xscale_EFI", or "x86-64_EFI" but > Jarek's doesn't. Should that be added to Jarek's patch? Absolutely. <name>.0 is correct for x86 BIOS and <name>.efi is correct for EFI on any platform. Not sure about other (less common) platforms, but the current <name>.<numeric ID> is probably not right for anything except x86 BIOS. > Sorry if these seem like stupid questions.
