Right, and I am not objecting to making this change to the ipxe packaging, I'm simply pointing out the limitations (we have no plans to sign the binary because it's redundant with our standard boot stack, so it won't work on SecureBoot systems). UEFI also has a built-in network stack and I've yet to encounter a UEFI system with a network card that didn't have a UEFI driver, so I am doubtful that ipxe even adds value here for the non-SB case. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1811496 Title: Make grub-ipxe work under UEFI To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ipxe/+bug/1811496/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
