severity 711799 grave found 711799 grub2/2.00-22 tags 711799 + d-i affects 711799 debian-installer user debian-...@lists.debian.org usertags 711799 kfreebsd thanks
Hi, I maybe should have set a higher severity for this. It doesn't make the whole grub2 package useless, but it has broken the GRUB2-based images built by d-i (which are used only for kfreebsd and hurd) on systems where it was working before. Feel free to downgrade if this severity is wrong. Example of d-i image with a broken grub2pxe file: http://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/kfreebsd-i386/20140203-00:49/netboot-9/netboot.tar.gz On wheezy using qemu+iPXE with -boot n -net nic -net user,bootfile=grub2pxe,tftp=. : > net0: 10.0.2.15/255.255.255.0 gw 10.0.2.2 > Next server: 10.0.2.2 > Filename: grub2pxe > tftp://10.0.2.2/grub2pxe...ok [screen blanks] > GNU GRUB version 2.0-22 > Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported.

(No sign of bug #695500) There are two problems I think: * no DHCP-assigned network settings copied from the PXE environment * no TFTP server IP copied from the PXE environment FWIW I tried Colin Watson's suggestion from [0] and rebuilt grub2pxe for i386-pc-pxe, instead of the existing code which combines pxeboot.img and i386-pc by itself: > grub-mkimage -O i386-pc-pxe --prefix="(pxe)/debian-installer/kfreebsd-amd64" > -o tmp/netboot-9/dir_tree/debian-installer/kfreebsd-amd64/grub2pxe bsd cpuid > echo gfxterm gzio minicmd normal png vbe pxe but still the same problem.
