Description

Wanted to document this configuration for others.

I’m using FOG to image UEFI multi-boot systems, with boot-time selection controlled by /EFI/ubuntu/grubx64.efi. UEFI is configured to boot PXE first, then from the hard drive.

When I configure iPXE’s UEFI exit to anything other than rEFInd, I get the infinite boot attempts issue.

When I leave iPXE’s UEFI exit to rEFInd, the default I believe, then rEFInd tries to boot the first .efi file from /EFI/ubuntu/, which fails to boot. This is because the default_selection for rEFInd is set to 1.

I solved my problem with this:

sed -i 's/^default_selection .*/default_selection "grubx64.efi"/' /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe/refind.conf

BTW: You guys have been busy! I’m liking 1.5.0. Good work.

On the downloads page: https://fogproject.org/download, the link to download gives you a file named 1.5.7.tar.gz. The instructions say to untar a file named fogproject-1.5.7.tar.gz. No problem for anyone who’s every done ls or tar. But thought I’d give the feedback.

PS. Looks like you guys have been really busy.
