Hello Mike,
it looks for me like a BIOS problem if it works on another machines. Can you
look for BIOS Update for this laptop?
I have similar setups without such problems.
As a workaround you can use in class/

We installed an HP notebook via BIOS mode using the partitioning rules

Ok, I found a bug. My Thinkpad X230 does not work correctly using
UEFI. Using a Dell notebook shows, that my tftp, DHCP setup is correct
and loads ldlinux.e64 and then the pxelinux.cfg/. config files.

Yeah, I'm sure. The syslinux-efi package works as advertized. I mean,
you cannot boot an EFI machine via pxelinux.0. That would hang.
Are you saying that you're not seeing a request for ldlinux.e64 right
after the request for syslinux.efi? There's no error message in the tftp
logs? File not
Hi John,
I didn't manage to get network booting using UEFI without grub but
with syslinux running. I copied the syslinux.efi and ldlinux.e64 into
my tftp directory. Using tcpdump I see that the UEFI is getting the
syslinux.efi file (even I use a different name and a symlink). I do
not see any
Hi,
Yes ! Thanks ! It works after modifying the file "60-misc" like described
by Thomas and this line :
```
primary /boot/efi 204800K vfat rw

to
```

```
Thank you very much.
Best regards,
Rémy.

The current version of 60-misc now uses this
code
if [ -d /sys/firmware/efi ]; then
echo GRUB_EFI
elif ifclass -o I386 AMD64 ; then
echo GRUB_PC
fi

Here is the code in my dhcp config file that sets the filename option
depending on EFI/BIOS boot:
=== begin ===
# tell a kernel how to boot via PXE or NFS
server-name faiserver;
next-server faiserver;
# Check pxe boot code #93 to determine whether we are booting via BIOS
or EFI
EFI/BIOS detect an unbootable disk differently. But in my
experience, it does not matter if the disk does not have a bootable
partition, as long as there is a partition table on the disk, it won't
move on to pxe boot again.
There is sample code in the fai-doc package that creates the classes
Just a note ... You can still use syslinux/pxelinux to do FAI installs
for both EFI and BIOS. In other words, you don't have to switch to grub,
you can still use the syslinux pxe config files you created via fai-chboot.

In your shell.log you have this line:

You need the mdadm package installed, if you use software raid.

Hello everyone,

Hi Denny,
there seems to be a mismatch of sorts between your desired schema and
what you're actually describing. I am going to assume you want an EFI
partition that you're going to boot off of.
To do so, this should work:
disk_config disk1 disklabel:gpt-bios bootable:1 fstabkey:uuid
Hey Kerim,
no not really - my disk_config could be/is wrong.
The following schema need to be created by FAI disk_config:

You can.

to give options to parted (e.g. to create a

set N bios_grub on, where N is the partition number.
for this it may make sense to use disklabel:gpt-bios. it creates an

Hello,
This IMHO could be done without touching a real disk's MBR using a file
(untested).
Copying the MBR was basically the first method which worked.
According to the docu of memdisk, if you want to use arbitrary image
sizes, it has to be hd image with mbr and partition table.
