Hi,
I am just experiencing the following problem with new PCs (having an
ASUS UEFI BIOS version 2.10.1208 and our cluster's FAI installation.
After activating the PXE-boot in the UEFI BIOS the FAI installation runs
fine. However after a reboot, when the pxelinux menu points to the "boot
from local harddisk" entry, the system hangs when the PXE ROM exits:
"PXE-M0F: Exiting PXE ROM"
When I reboot and skip the PXE Boot, putting the local disk in the first
place in the UEFI boot menu, our Debian Linux installation boots fine.
However, modifying the boot order after the FAI installation
somewhat defeats the purpose of FAI.
I tried to switch the UEFI BIOS to "Other OS" and unloaded the security
keys, to no avail.
Are there any instructions available how to setup pxelinux for FAI such
that I can TFTBOOT and then use the 'boot from local harddrive' entry?
Or do I have to have a parallel syslinux TFTP boot menu setup as suggested
here: http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/PXELINUX#UEFI ?
I have also seen the following posting on the FAI mailing list:
https://lists.uni-koeln.de/pipermail/linux-fai/2014-February/010294.html
However, this means changing the DHCP configuration after a FAI
installation.
I wonder whether the problem I ran into is specific to the mainboard
(ASUS H81M-(D) Plus 3) or more generic.
Thank you very much for any advice.
Best wishes,
w.w.
