Hello, is there, by any chance, someone with a rhel/centos 8.2.2004 (using kernel version 4.18.0-193.6.3.el8_2.x86_64) successfully booting in UEFI mode ? I'm running xcat 2.16.
I'm using 4.18.0-147.8.1 from CentOS 8.1.1911: /tftpboot/xcat/osimage/netboot-cpu-centos8.1/kernel: Linux kernel x86 boot executable bzImage, version 4.18.0-147.8.1.el8_1.x86_64 (mockbu...@kbuilder.bsys.centos.org) #1 SMP Thu Apr 9 13:49:54 UTC , RO-rootFS, swap_dev 0x7, Normal VGA and 4.18.0-193.6.3 from CentOS 8.2.2004: /tftpboot/xcat/osimage/netboot-cpu-centos8.2/kernel: Linux kernel x86 boot executable bzImage, version 4.18.0-193.6.3.el8_2.x86_64 (mockbu...@kbuilder.bsys.centos.org) #1 SMP Wed Jun 10 11:09:32 UTC, RO-rootFS, swap_dev 0x8, Normal VGA Here is what I've got using 8.2.2004 during the initial PXE phase: ============================== xCAT Network Boot Agent iPXE 1.0.3-131028 (d603e) -- Open Source Network Boot Firmware -- http://ipxe.org Features: HTTP HTTPS iSCSI DNS TFTP EFI net0: ac:1f:6b:c8:ee:10 using <NULL> on EFI SNP (open) [Link:up, TX:0 TXE:0 RX:0 RXE:0] DHCP (net0 ac:1f:6b:c8:ee:10)... ok net0: 192.168.152.2/255.255.240.0 gw 192.168.144.1 Next server: 192.168.148.10 Filename: http://192.168.148.10:80/tftpboot/xcat/xnba/nodes/maestro-1000.uefi http://192.168.148.10:80/tftpboot/xcat/xnba/nodes/maestro-1000.uefi... ok http://192.168.148.10:80/tftpboot/xcat/elilo-x64.efi... ok ELILO v3.14 for EFI/x86_64 Loading kernel /tftpboot/xcat/osimage/netboot-cpu-centos8.2/kernel... done Loading file /tftpboot/xcat/osimage/netboot-cpu-centos8.2/initrd-stateless.gz...done ============================== It stops here, and it reboots.

Does it ring a bell to somebody ? We are using Supermicro AS-2124BT-HNTR with 2 x AMD EPYC 7552 48-Core Processor. Any suggestions on where to start to debug the problem ?
