Hi,
I'm used to non-UEFI PXE boot, and I use it for my network installer
since forever ago.
Looking up how to UEFI PXE boot, I use the syslinux.efi file and
allthough it was loaded and stuff, nothing happend after it, I had at
least expected the ldlinux64 to be requested from the TFTP server, but
nothing.
After searching, I noticed someone asking to test the new pre-release,
and so I downloaded the 6.04 version. I replaced the syslinux.efi file
only, and I got a lot more success. I symlinked the pxelinux.cfg dir and
images so it could find the files it needed.
Then I got the prompt, I typed "install" to trigger that menu item and
it transferred the vmlinuz file (14sec for 11MB). Then the initrd
(47MB), which takes a long time, but does not ever show the "ok", even
after the transfer was complete (as far as I could tell from the TFTP
server), which takes more than a minute. after some seconds of nothing
happening, it just reboots...
Can anyone help met out here?
Regards,
