UEFI won boot tools via fog menu.

@Wayne-Workman @Senior-Developers @Moderators @Developers
I know this thread has sparked somewhat of a up and down exhaustive debacle on if and how to make the efi load with the dns masq of ddwrt.This configuration right here is partially working and has allowed me to boot successfully a sony Lenovo laptop in uefi mode.
although non of the Linux isos boot and no third party tools work at least its a step in the right direction, I think?
If you look at the loading sequence it states something strange that I’m sure you pros can identify.Link up on net0..............Connection timed out??
At any rate I am now wondering if I must create one of these entries for each type of .efi file ie. snp.efi etc.dhcp-match=set:efibc,option:client-arch,7 dhcp-boot=tag:efibc,ipxe.efi,,192.168.1.109 dhcp-match=set:i386-efi/ipxe.efi,option:client-arch,6 dhcp-boot=tag:i386-efi/ipxe.efi,,192.168.1.109 dhcp-match=set:efi-x86_64,option:client-arch,7 dhcp-boot=tag:efi-x86_64,ipxe.efi,,192.168.1.109 dhcp-match=set:efi-x86_64,option:client-arch,8 dhcp-boot=tag:efi-x86_64,ipxe.efi,,192.168.1.109 dhcp-match=set:efi-x86_64,option:client-arch,9 dhcp-boot=tag:efi-x86_64,ipxe.efi,,192.168.1.109 dhcp-boot=undionly.kpxe,,192.168.1.109 -

@dureal99d Can we see how you try to boot all these various tools?
-
@Quazz of course, do you need a video or a config file?
-
@dureal99d Just paste a few examples of the config for the menu items.

-
@Quazz that is my entire config file
-
@dureal99d I think the main problem is most likely that the nfs location those boot options want to use isn’t being exported by your FOG server.
Check /etc/exports to confirm
-
@Quazz the files are being exported via nfs server of Ubuntu
/images *(ro,sync,no_wdelay,no_subtree_check,insecure_locks,no_root_squash,insecure,fsid=0) /images/dev *(rw,async,no_wdelay,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash,insecure,fsid=1) /images2 *(ro,sync,no_wdelay,no_subtree_check,insecure_locks,no_root_squash,insecure,fsid=2) /images2/dev *(rw,async,no_wdelay,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash,insecure,fsid=3) /var/www/html/bootimgs *(ro,sync,no_wdelay,insecure_locks,no_root_squash,insecure) /opt/bootimgs *(ro,sync,no_wdelay,insecure_locks,no_root_squash,insecure)``` -
@dureal99d They need to have fsid assigned at the very least to work properly as far as I know.

@dureal99d said in UEFI won boot tools via fog menu.:
i see add
@Quazz I shall add fsid= to the export and shall report back

@dureal99d You’ll need to add subtree_check as well, otherwise any folders underneath it won’t be accessible.

@dureal99d It’s trying to export /opt/bootimgs twice.
Is it a symbolic link or something?
Either way, it should probably work now, might need to restart NFS service, though.
-
-
@dureal99d Looking at my own boot items, I do not appear to have a trailing slash. Try removing that from your boot options.
If it still has issues after that, see if you can manually mount that NFS location.
You can base yourself on https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Troubleshoot_NFS replace paths where necessary.
-
@Quazz Keep in mind in bios boot mode these options work just fine, the issue exist in uefi mode.
also, what is a trailing slash?
