I'm trying to PXE boot over IPv6 and grub2 I have this in my dhcpd6.conf option dhcp6.bootfile-url "tftp://[2620:0:0:1::245]/bootx64.efi";;
The system boots, I can see the bootx64.efi is getting downloaded and executed... It seems however grub2 is trying to access 38.32.0.0, which is the mangled version of 2620:0. I'm not sure if this is a problem with the PXE firmware or with grub2 which cannot understand that it got started over IPv6... with grub2 prompt I can see that fw_path is mangled... So I went a bit further by creating my own bootx64.efi grub2-mkimage -o bootx64.efi -c efiboot.cfg -O x86_64-efi --prefix="http,2620:0:0:1::245" `find /usr/lib/grub/x86_64-efi/*.mod | xargs | sed -e 's/\.mod//g' | sed -e 's/\/usr\/lib\/grub\/x86_64-efi\///g'` using: $cat efiboot.cfg set timeout=5 set prefix='(http,2620:0:0:1::245)' set root='(http,2620:0:0:1::245)' set pxe_default_server='2620:0:0:1::245' net_ipv6_autoconf linux /vmlinuz initrd /initrd.img I have swapped tftp and http and both seems to be have the same.... I get an error that prefix is not set It also tells me that I need to set the kernel first... then I see it tries to access grub.cfg in the right location and also that it downloads vmlinuz (progress bars are totally weird and useless) Then when I suspect it tries to boot the kernel, it complains about magic number... I'm not sure how I should create a default cfg file to use with bootx64.efi, or just to place in the root of my tftp or http server for the system to boot. I would need also to pass some parameter to initrd.img and not sure how I can do that within grub.cfg I use redhat7 with grub2.02-beta2 any help much appreciated.
