Hello, I've read some posts/issues about UEFI support for foreman: - https://github.com/theforeman/foreman-bootloaders - https://github.com/theforeman/community-templates/pull/346 - https://github.com/theforeman/puppet-foreman_proxy/pull/324 - http://projects.theforeman.org/issues/16654
and to be honest I've no idea what is the status for PXEbooting Debian OSes First of all how to configure UEFI in foreman GUI? - the OS is supposed to have PXEGrub2 template set or not? - what is the meaning of PXE Loader dropdown in host creation screen? why PXELinux UEFI doesn't require grub template but grub(2) uefi does? - as I'm using dnsmasq (DHCPProxy) I assume those two aforementioned options doesn't have any effect on me? I should handle dhcp config myself? For now lets assume I've configured it properly... My issue is following: The latest foreman comes with some grub2/grubx64.efi file and generates the grub2/grub.cfg-01-aa-bb-cc-dd-ee-ff which seems to be ok (for debian 8/9) The grub2/grubx64.efi filename is served properly by dnsmasq (ver. 2.67 which is supposed to support UEFI) But when I use e.g. notebook with UEFI, disable secure boot and enable network boot, all what happens is: - dhcp discover is sent, offers (one from DHCP server one from proxydhcp) is sent - notebook hangs for like a 2 minutes and grub 2 shell appears... - in wireshark I see only tftp grubx64.efi download, no requests for grub.cfg-01-aa-bb... config file I've seen some info about debian bootloader not downloading config file but I've used the stock one that comes with foreman (which I believe should download grub.cfg file) How do I get UEFI boot to work? How do I even debug it? Do I understand correctly that grubx64.efi file should contain bootloader that will download it's config file, (maybe) display some menu and start automated installation? If so, why I don't see any requests for grub.cfg-01-mac file? Thank you in advance -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Foreman users" group.
