So I lied a bit, my use case is for kickstart file, so maybe it changes something, But here is what works for for me, for bios and uefi: ~~~~ kernel ../kernel/vmlinuz initrd=initrd.img initrd=ks.cfg.cpio inst.ks=file:/ks.cfg ... (more cmdline options here) initrd ../kernel/initrd.img initrd ../ks/ks.cfg.cpio boot ~~~~ Where ks.cfg.cpio is build using "echo ks.cfg | cpio -c -o > ks.cfg.cpio" Thanks Etienne > } - can someone update it > > Posting is recieved as reminder on a pending password request > > > - can someone update it to mention it's not working, > > That is a recipe / request for getting out-dated information > even more outdated :-/ > > > or what options are needed ? > > Few days (few weeks?) ago I saw some "iPXE initrd advice" > But it is not anymore in IRC scroll buffer > > Things I remember > * BIOS and EFI have different idea how initrd should be provided > * "only switch once initrd type" > > > Thanks a lot > > Thank you for poking us > > > Etienne > > Groeten > Geert Stappers > -- > Silence is hard to parse _______________________________________________ ipxe-devel mailing list ipxe-devel@lists.ipxe.org https://lists.ipxe.org/mailman/listinfo/ipxe-devel
