we’re updating to a new ipxe[1] soon, so you can give it a try if it maybe works (i dont’ see the option added though) or if there is some other way how to do that otherwise I guess you would have to recompile, but if you bump up the version yourself and put it into your own repo it should always have a precedence Thanks, michal > > Or is there another way of getting this functionality? > > Thanks, > > Cam > _______________________________________________ > Users mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users [1] https://cbs.centos.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=10754 _______________________________________________ Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
