Hi All,

I use OPSI to only deploy Windows Operating System (no package deployement) ; for this, I use boot PXE with Syslinux Boot Loader.
I have the module UEFI/GPT install on the Opsi Server.
But I can't boot OPSI correctly. I think the TFTP load the miniroot and install-x64 files, but it stops after this. And the computer reboot after few minutes

Code: Alles auswählen

Nov 12 15:52:20 opsi-server in.tftpd[28072]: RRQ from client_ip filename efi64/opsi/install-x64
Nov 12 15:52:27 opsi-server in.tftpd[29497]: RRQ from client_ip1ilename efi64/opsi/miniroot-x64.bz2

If anyone has ever encoutered this problem, thanks for the help

Hi

so the computer doesn't start the bootimage correctly?
Does this affect ony one specific type of PCs or all UEFI PCs in your setup?

Cheers

Hi Mathias,
thanks for your reply. All the computers are affected by the problem. I think it's a problem with SYSLINUX. So I would like to know if anyone succeed to boot OPSI in UEFI mode with PXE Syslinux ?

Thanks,
Olivier

Hi Olivier,

If you have the UEFI opsi Module why aren't you using the elilo.efi provided by the opsi Package?
Did you set the proper DHCP settings for the UEFI module?

could you provide a full syslog view when the client 'speaks' to the tftpd?

Cheers
Mathias

I would guess something like this too.

part of (ISC) dhcpd.conf:

Code: Alles auswählen

option client-arch code 93 = array of unsigned integer 16;
if not exists client-arch {
       filename "linux/pxelinux.0";
} elsif substring (option client-arch,0,0) = option client-arch {
       filename "linux/pxelinux.0";
} elsif option client-arch = encode-int (0,16) {       # 0 x86 BIOS
       filename "linux/pxelinux.0";
} elsif option client-arch = encode-int (6,16) {       # 6 x86 UEFI
       filename "linux/pxelinux.cfg/elilo-x86.efi";
} elsif option client-arch = encode-int (7,16) {       # 7 x64 UEFI
       filename "linux/pxelinux.cfg/elilo.efi";
} elsif option client-arch = encode-int (9,16) {       # 9 UEFI ByteCode
       filename "linux/pxelinux.cfg/elilo.efi";
}

In reality you only get 0 or 7, but this is the correct way to do it.

Hi
the DHCP config is like this :

Code: Alles auswählen

  if option architecture-type = 0 {
         filename "path/to/BIOS/pxelinux.0";
     } elsif option architecture-type = 9 {
         filename "path/to/EFIx64/syslinux.efi";
     } elsif option architecture-type = 7 {
         filename "path/to/EFIx64/syslinux.efi";
     } elsif option architecture-type = 6 {
         filename "path/to/EFIia32/syslinux.efi";
     }

Why I don't use elilo.efi ? because the PXE was in place for other tools (like backup, livecd, linux deployement) before OSPI. And, in my institution, I don't manage the DHCP server ! but I can ask to modify this in a test VLAN to use elilo.efi.

thanks for your reply Mathias and SisterofMercy

Hi,
after testing, I can install new computers with OPSI in UEFI mode with ELILO bootloader (with a small text menu)
this is the elilo.conf

Code: Alles auswählen


# force chooser to textmenu
chooser=textmenu

delay=20
prompt

#
# the files containing the text (with attributes) to display
#
message=textmenu-message.msg


image=/linux/install-x64
  label=opsi
  description="Installation Windows avec OPSI"
  append="initrd=/linux/miniroot-x64.bz2 debug video=vesa:ywrap,mtrr vga=normal --no-log console=tty1 console=ttyS0"
  initrd=/linux/miniroot-x64.bz2

But sadly, I think I lost some fonctions like graphical bootmenu (for example, the pxe menu of my establishment)

and the possibility to put a password on a sub-folder, and the possibility to do pxechain.
