Hi, Since upstream version 2.00, a GRUB2 PXE image fails to set grub_net_default_server and so is unable to proceed with booting. I built the image with: > grub-mkimage -O i386-pc-pxe --prefix="(pxe)" -o grub2pxe pxe tftp The image is not given a multiboot signature. I'm testing under Qemu with iPXE firmware (but with Etherboot it shows the same issue). > $ qemu-system-x86_64 -m 128 -enable-kvm -net nic -net > user,bootfile=grub2pxe,tftp=. -boot n It fails like this: > iPXE 1.0.0+git-20120202.f6840ba-3 -- Open Source Network Boot Firmware -- > http:/ > /ipxe.org > Features: HTTP iSCSI DNS TFTP AoE bzImage COMBOOT ELF MBOOT PXE PXEXT > > net0: 52:54:00:12:34:56 using E1000_DEV_ID_82540EM on PCI00:03.0 (open) > [Link:up, TX:0 TXE:0 RX:0 RXE:0] > DHCP (net0 52:54:00:12:34:56)...... ok > net0: 10.0.2.15/255.255.255.0 gw 10.0.2.2 > Next server: 10.0.2.2 > Filename: grub2pxe > tftp://10.0.2.2/grub2pxe... ok > Welcome to GRUB! > > error: no server is specified. > Entering rescue mode... net_ls_addr shows no output. If I run net_bootp manually, it gets an IP address and sets net_pxe_dhcp_*, but still does not set net_default_server or pxe_default_server. If I set net_default_server manually (to 10.0.2.2) I can then fetch files via TFTP through the "(pxe)" device. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: kfreebsd-amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: kFreeBSD 9.0-2-amd64-xenhvm Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages grub-pc-bin depends on: ii grub-common 2.00-14 ii libc0.1 2.17-5 ii libgeom1 9.0+ds1-4 grub-pc-bin recommends no packages.
