Since technically GRUB is requesting the initrd file, I tried to rule it out as a possible cause by seeing if the initial payload that UEFI downloads directly would time out if it was the same size. I did this by padding my grubnetaa64.efi binary to be the same size as the installer initrd.
mv grubnetaa64.efi grubnetaa64.efi.orig cp casper/initrd grubnetaa64.efi dd if=grubnetaa64.efi.orig of=grubnetaa64 conv=notrunc This did *not* timeout. So unfortunately we can't obviously rule out GRUB as a factor. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1900773 Title: thunderx CRB systems tftp timeout downloading initrd To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/livecd-rootfs/+bug/1900773/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
