Which opsi-version on which platform you are running?

Code: Alles auswählen

cat /etc/issue

dpkg -l | grep opsi

or

rpm -qa | grep opsi

There was a problem with syslinux 6, which was used on the bootimage a while ago. Due to several problems, syslinux 4 is back. So what bootimage are you using? Perhaps it needs updating.

Hi Bardo,

opsi-linux-bootimage 20160111-1 amd64 opsi bootimage for netboot tasks.

Greetings,

[m.radtke]

usually the scripts call
'modprobe efivars' to check if the efi module is available. If so then the system runs in UEFI Mode.
if not then legacy mode is enabled.

This command should not fail the script.

please provide the bootimage log for further insights

cheers
Mathias

Greetings,

[uncle_scrooge]

Looks like outdated netboot products.
For whatever reason older setup.py (in this case win7-x64/setup.py) don't like newer boot images.
Updating the netboot products would be a good start. opsi-product-updater comes in handy.

We had the same issue here on site. And as I said updating setup.py fixed it.
