Bug#962161: Please use ipxe.efi under UEFI
Package: win32-loader Version: 0.10.0 Severity: important Hi, thank you very much for the initial UEFI support! Unfortunately, when I selected: PXE mode: install a PXE loader to allow remote kernel loading I didn't get ipxe.efi to be able to netboot, but it prompted me to download the stable or unstable debian kernel etc. Please see this bug report and patch for grub-ipxe, to see how a grub.cfg can use either ipxe.lkrn or ipxe.efi dynamically: https://salsa.debian.org/waldi/ipxe/-/merge_requests/1 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=927783 So, if a user selects the PXE mode, please install both ipxe.lkrn and ipxe.efi, and use the grub.cfg mentioned in that bug report. Thanks again!
Bug#691201: keyboard-configuration: XKBLAYOUT=us,gr for Greece
Package: keyboard-configuration Version: 1.86 Severity: normal Hi, XKBLAYOUT=gr in keyboard-configuration.config is wrong, it should be us,gr instead: $ grep XKBLAYOUT=gr /var/lib/dpkg/info/keyboard-configuration.config XKBLAYOUT=gr # Greece $ grep ^XKB /etc/default/keyboard XKBMODEL="pc105" XKBLAYOUT="us,gr" XKBVARIANT="," XKBOPTIONS="grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll" /etc/default/keyboard does get the correct layout when selecting Greek language in the installation though, not sure which component puts the correct "us,gr" there. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Bug#657830: win32-loader: Please make pxe.target depend on the ipxe package
Στις 31/01/2012 12:26 μμ, ο/η Didier 'OdyX' Raboud έγραψε: I propose the attached patch that would do even "better", by providing a win32-loader-pxe.exe from the Debian mirrors, available on http://ftp.debian.org/debian/tools/win32-loader/unstable/win32-loader-pxe.exe ... What do you (and debian-boot ?) think about that ? Sorry my English aren't good enough, I don't know many words better than "awesome", so "perfect" will have to do! Just a notice though, in case anyone tries it: the iPXE package in Debian and Ubuntu is currently broken, it errors with "B: command not found" when loaded from grub: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ipxe/+bug/916489 That error was fixed in a later upstream iPXE version, and AFAIK lynxman is working on packaging a new git snapshot and he's almost ready to upload it to Debian+Ubuntu: https://code.launchpad.net/~lynxman/ubuntu/precise/ipxe/newsnapshot Thanks again Didier! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Bug#657830: win32-loader: Please make pxe.target depend on the ipxe package
Package: win32-loader
Version: 0.7.4.3
Severity: wishlist
Hello,
Quoting from http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=607417#43:
> That's the point of the pxe.target to "depend" on pxe.lkrn.
> I will enhance the code when {g,i}PXE enters Debian in order to
> copy the pxe.lkrn directly (as is done for gl2dr and loadlin.exe).
An ipxe package is available in Debian wheezy and sid:
$ rmadison ipxe
ipxe | 1.0.0+git-2.149b50-1 | wheezy | source, all
ipxe | 1.0.0+git-2.149b50-1 | sid| source, all
It would be awesome if people could get win32-loader.exe directly from
the Debian archives (by decompressing the .deb of course).
Thank you very much,
Alkis Georgopoulos

Bug#607417: ΑΠ: win32-loader: please offer a "Boot from network with gPXE" option

Confirming everything that OdyX says. Awesome PXE integration, much more mature than our preliminary attempts. :) To compile, I did the following: git clone git://git.debian.org/d-i/win32-loader.git cd win32-loader git checkout -b pxe remotes/origin/pxe # remove "--format=i386-pc" from Makefile because I had an old grub version cp /usr/share/gpxe/gpxe.lkrn ./pxe.lkrn PXE=yes make Tested the resulting win32-loader.exe in a vbox XP installation, worked fine. The only thing that remains is the boot menu title, we'll file another bug for it once the pxe branch is merged to master. Again, thank you OdyX, you're great. :) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

win32-loader: offer a "Boot from network with gPXE" option
First of all thank you for your wonderful win32-loader. We've modified it a bit so that it adds a "Boot from network" entry in the Windows boot loader, instead of loading a Linux kernel. To accomplish this we statically linked gpxe.lkrn [1] to win32-loader.exe, and we modified main.nsi to load this instead of vmlinuz. No initrd was necessary. Currently the resulting "ltsp-loader.exe" [2] is used in some thousand Greek school PCs to netboot thin and fat clients. But many others have asked for this functionality in the #ltsp irc channel and in the ltsp-discuss mailing list, so we think it'd be much better if the upstream win32-loader Makefile supported a "Boot from network with gPXE" target. Unfortunately gPXE is not yet in Debian due to (afaik) some unresolved licensing issues. However if the win32-loader Makefile supported a gPXE target, maybe one of the following would be possible: * The gPXE devs to compile win32-loader with the gPXE target, and to host the resulting win32-loader-gpxe.exe on their site themselves. * Or a sysadmin or user could do that for his own use. * Or win32-loader.exe could dynamically download gpxe.lkrn from the gPXE website. If you want we can send you the .diff for main.nsi that we currently have, but we aren't very skilled with NSIS scripting so if you decide to add that functionality upstream you'd probably want to properly reimplement this yourselves. :) In any case thanks again, Alkis Georgopoulos [1]: http://www.etherboot.org/ [2]: http://users.sch.gr/alkisg/tosteki/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=2136.0;attach=1941 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
