Yes, probe the PCI bus and include additional initrd files if you find either an ATI, Intel or NVidia gfx card. > One way would be to use a pcibus query to get the types.. is this > possible with ipxe ? Yes, http://ipxe.org/cmd/pciscan. At http://boot.salstar.sk/lspci you can see a working example of "lspci" written in the iPXE scripting language. You might be able to use parts of what you see there to create a script with conditional initrd loading. If you're able to figure it out I'd love to see the code. I haven't heard of anyone doing exactly this yet (in public). -- Robin _______________________________________________ ipxe-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ipxe.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/ipxe-devel
