@scott-lynch said in EFI_STUB enabled custom FOG kernel causing ipxe.efi to throw error 0x2e008081:

So zstd is the preferred compression method for the images?

Yes it is much faster at decompression. There is a small performance hit on compression speeds, but for that initial capture penalty you get a much faster decompression rate.

If I remember correctly the gzip engine is (now) only use for image capture. Zstd is used as the default decompresser because it can accept both gzip and zstd images. You only get the performance increase with a zstd native image.

BTW: Wonderful that you are now capturing an image with FOS. So that tells us the issue isn’t with the FOS kernel (bzImage) but with the hand off between Firmware, iPXE and the FOS linux kernel.
