    • RE: Could not boot: Exec format error

      I was able to confirm that the ISO does support UEFI booting (I knew previous versions had, I just wanted to confirm), as you said, the USB key shows up in the boot menu and it does load successfully afterwards.

      Looking through the two threads mentioned, looks like I need to dig into how it’s being loaded into memory, here it is today:

      :DiskWipePRODDEBUG
      initrd ${boot-url}/service/ipxe/diskwipe/DiskWipe_2.31_MC_Debug.iso
      chain memdisk iso raw ||
      echo failed to boot
      prompt
      goto MENU
      

      Looking through the ISO in question, I found the /efi/boot/x64 directory where it lays out grub.cfg as:

      insmod part_gpt
      insmod part_msdos
      insmod fat
      insmod iso9660
      insmod efi_gop
      insmod efi_uga
      insmod font
      
      loadfont /efi/boot/font.pf2
      insmod gfxterm
      set gfxmode=800x600
      set gfxpayload=keep
      terminal_output gfxterm
      
      linux /vmlinuz.x86_64 root=/dev/ram0 rw init=/init video=efifb loglevel=3
      initrd /wipe-x86_64.lz /firmware.lz /bcwipe
      boot
      
      

      I’ll be taking a look at this later today once I get time.

      Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.

    • Could not boot: Exec format error

      • FOG Version: 1.3.4

      When booting an UEFI client, I can get to the FOG menu successfully but when I navigate to the Advanced menu and launch one of the ISOs I have configured (Jetico disk wipe software), I get the error:

      Could not boot: Exec format error (http://ipxe.org/2e008081)
      failed to boot

      ipxe.efi is the current bootfile that is being used per https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=BIOS_and_UEFI_Co-Existence

      I can use the same ISO to boot into BIOS without issue and works in our current production environment with FOG 1.2.0

      Any ideas?

      Thank you
