(See #881263) > I have uploaded new ipxe to experimental (1.21.1+git20250207.bd90abf4+dfsg-1~exp1). This version has adopted Opt1, i.e. merging drivers for all arches into one file. The following rom files have doubled its sizes to 1MB [1]: efi-e1000, efi-e1000e, efi-rtl8139, efi-virtio, efi-vmxnet3 I have raised the severity to important since freeze is approaching, and it would be better if we could get a consensus before trixie.
