I can confirm this, doing chain http://boot.ipxe.org/ipxe.efi gives version 145a and then trying to boot linux with a similar script just hangs (using http://b800.org/sysr/sysrcd.ipxe) While a older version works fine. Chaining into ipxe.efi from ipxe.efi (145a) still works fine. Not sure if I can find the time for a git bisect right now. > | Below is the iPXE script > | > | #!ipxe > | > | :retry > | initrd > | > http://mirror.its.sfu.ca/mirror/CentOS/7/os/${arch}/images/pxeboot/initrd.img > | || goto retry > | chain > | http://mirror.its.sfu.ca/mirror/CentOS/7/os/${arch}/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz > | initrd=initrd.img > | method=http://mirror.its.sfu.ca/mirror/CentOS/7/os/${arch}/ > | ksdevice=${netX/mac} dhcptimeout=240 || goto retry > | boot || goto retry > | > | When building iPXE for UEFI mode I have src/config/local/general.h.UEFI > | contain > | > | #define DOWNLOAD_PROTO_HTTPS /* Secure Hypertext Transfer Protocol */ > | #define IMAGE_EFI /* Include ability to load UEFI images > */ > | #define VLAN_CMD /* VLAN commands */ Unrelated but, IMAGE_EFI is default in efi builds and should not be needed, I strongly recommend you only set the absolute minimum defines to not end up with breakage. /Christian > | > | I've built the latest iPXE source but I haven't gone back to older versions > | yet to see where the problem may have come up.
