Hi,
I'm happy with moving to iPXE if it's better/more supported upstream.
Hey Marko.
iPXE should be just a drop-in replacement for gPXE so what is mostly needed is to build the iPXE images. You can decide yourself which one seems to be more actively developed and maintained:
http://git.etherboot.org/gpxe.git/shortlog http://git.ipxe.org/ipxe.git/shortlog
Otherwise I will add it to my list, but it's not likely to be high priority.
Basically all what's needed is to have a system with the needed tools to build the iPXE images (adjust the embedded image as needed):
yum install git make gcc perl syslinux genisoimage git clone git://git.ipxe.org/ipxe.git ipxe.git cd ipxe.git/src make EMBEDDED_IMAGE=bfo.gpxe bin/ipxe.iso make EMBEDDED_IMAGE=bfo.gpxe bin/ipxe.usb make EMBEDDED_IMAGE=bfo.gpxe bin/ipxe.dsk make EMBEDDED_IMAGE=bfo.gpxe bin/ipxe.lkrn
I tried this and got:
make: *** No rule to make target `bin/ipxe.iso'. Stop.
basically it doesn't seem they understand a EMBEDDED_IMAGE option.
Thoughts?
