Since the upload of edk2 in September 2025 the autopkgtest of ipxe fails in testing when that autopkgtest is run with the binary packages of edk2 from unstable. It passes when run with only packages from testing. In tabular form: Currently this regression is blocking the migration of edk2 to testing [1]. Due to the nature of this issue, I filed this bug report against both packages. Can you please investigate the situation and reassign the bug to the right package? 383s '/usr/share/qemu/efi-e1000.rom' -> '/tmp/autopkgtest-lxc.jgzua6qg/downtmp/autopkgtest_tmp/romfile.rom' 383s spawn qemu-system-amd64 -cpu kvm64 -machine pc -bios OVMF.fd -smp cpus=1,cores=1,sockets=1 -m 1G -chardev stdio,mux=on,id=char0 -nographic -monitor none -serial chardev:char0 -device virtio-rng-pci -netdev user,id=net0,tftp=/tmp/autopkgtest-lxc.jgzua6qg/downtmp/autopkgtest_tmp,bootfile=grubx64.efi -device e1000,netdev=net0,id=net0,romfile=/tmp/autopkgtest-lxc.jgzua6qg/downtmp/autopkgtest_tmp/romfile.rom,bootindex=1 384s [=3h[=3hBdsDxe: loading Boot0000 "BootManagerMenuApp" from Fv(7CB8BDC9-F8EB-4F34-AAEA-3EE4AF6516A1)/FvFile(EEC25BDC-67F2-4D95-B1D5-F81B2039D11D) 385s BdsDxe: starting Boot0000 "BootManagerMenuApp" from Fv(7CB8BDC9-F8EB-4F34-AAEA-3EE4AF6516A1)/FvFile(EEC25BDC-67F2-4D95-B1D5-F81B2039D11D) 386s ┌────────────────────────────────────┐│ │├────────────────────────────────────┤│ ││ ││ ││ ││ ││ │├────────────────────────────────────┤│ ││ ││ │└────────────────────────────────────┘Please select boot device:UEFI PXEv4 (MAC:525400123456)UEFI PXEv6 (MAC:525400123456)UEFI HTTPv4 (MAC:525400123456)UEFI HTTPv6 (MAC:525400123456)EFI Firmware SetupEFI Internal Shell↑ and ↓ to move selectionENTER to select boot deviceESC to exitUEFI PXEv4 (MAC:525400123456) 389s BdsDxe: failed to load Boot0002 "UEFI PXEv4 (MAC:525400123456)" from PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x4,0x0)/MAC(525400123456,0x1)/IPv4(0.0.0.0,0x0,DHCP,0.0.0.0,0.0.0.0,0.0.0.0): Not Found 453s BdsDxe: failed to load Boot0003 "UEFI PXEv6 (MAC:525400123456)" from PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x4,0x0)/MAC(525400123456,0x1)/IPv6(0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000,0x0,Static,0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000,0x40,0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000): Not Found 513s BdsDxe: failed to load Boot0004 "UEFI HTTPv4 (MAC:525400123456)" from PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x4,0x0)/MAC(525400123456,0x1)/IPv4(0.0.0.0,0x0,DHCP,0.0.0.0,0.0.0.0,0.0.0.0)/Uri(): Not Found 576s BdsDxe: failed to load Boot0005 "UEFI HTTPv6 (MAC:525400123456)" from PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x4,0x0)/MAC(525400123456,0x1)/IPv6(0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000,0x0,Static,0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000,0x40,0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000)/Uri(): Not Found
