package: Debian-Installer Version: 20150422+deb8u4+b5 Hello,
I'm trying to install Debian Jessie (amd64) through PXE and Netboot on a Dell PowerEdge R730 server. Currently: 1) Wheezy installer boots correctly (latest version) ; 2) Jessie <= 8.10 installers boot 5 (I tried several ones) but I get an error when the installer tries to mount the EFI partition (ESP) during partitionning ; 3) Jessie 8.10 installer crashes quickly after grub (preseed menu) and I have no log at all, only a static keyboard cursor, and everything is frozen. It might be related to 910b687e06273ba8b112c984aae35cb648ff9330 [1] if it's an UEFI issue ; 4) Stretch installer boots correctly (latest version). All the Dell firmwares have been updated on this server. I also tried to use a more recent grubnetx64.efi.signed file with no luck. Unfortunalety, I got no more logs on the 3) scenario, even with kernel options such as "debug", "ignore_loglevel", "print_fatal_signals=1", "LOGLEVEL=8", "earlyprintk=vga,keep", "sched_debug", etc. I quickly checked the NetbootFirmware documentation [2], could it make sense to test another version or a more recent kernel (e.g. 3.16.52) in order to investigate? Thanks a lot. [1] https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/ChangeLog-3.16.49 [2] https://wiki.debian.org/fr/DebianInstaller/NetbootFirmware -- Alexandre ANRIOT
