Hi, I have an iPXE setup that allows me to chain load the Debian installer pxelinux setups over http so I don't need to mirror all the things locally, but so I still get the nice installer boot menu
The iPXE config is essentially this: set 209:string cfg/pxelinux.cfg set 210:string http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/${debian_version}/main/installer-${debian_arch}/current/images/netboot/ chain ${210:string}pxelinux.0 Until Jessie it's worked fine for years. pxelinux.0 is downloaded and having already set the two dhcp options above, it happily manages to go and find the pxelinux.cfg/default file and then all of the other things required by it and I get the installer boot menu. With Jessie however, it seems to get pxelinux.0 ok, but then fails miserably at finding ldlinux.c32. It simply tells me Failed to load ldlinux.c32. I see the pxelinux.cfg/default file now contains an additional parameter path debian-installer/amd64/boot-screens/ which is where ldlinux.c32 seems to live. Pxelinux never gets as far as actually downloading that file to find that information before it tries to download ldlinux.c32. So I thought perhaps that this new path was confusing something and it was requesting ldlinux.c32 from the wrong location on the web server. But with the aid of tcpdump it seems that no http request is even made for ldlinux.c32. In actual fact, no network request at all seems to be being made for the file. I'm pretty stuck and have no idea how I might go about getting this working for Jessie, so I wonder if anyone has any ideas that might help me?
