Hi Chris,

Hey All,
Sorry if I have missed this someplace obvious. But I am trying to test a pxe
install on a Mustang (xgene-1) board with F27 using the grubaa64.efi
acquired from here:
http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/releases/27/Server/aarch...
We did have some issues with grub in F27 but I thought it was all fixed for GA. I have
my dhcp server setup to offer BOOTAA64.EFI, which then loads grubaa64.efi and displays
the grub.cfg . I changed it to offer grubaa64.efi instead and it also worked. Here is
the snippet from my dhcpd.conf:
host mustang {
option host-name "mustang";
hardware ethernet 00:01:73:02:0c:cb;
fixed-address 192.168.0.74;
filename "BOOTAA64.EFI";
# filename "grubaa64.efi";
}
from logs:
Feb 14 13:59:58 rhel in.tftpd[21762]: tftp: client does not accept options
Feb 14 13:59:58 rhel in.tftpd[21763]: Client 192.168.0.74 finished BOOTAA64.EFI
Feb 14 13:59:58 rhel in.tftpd[21764]: Client 192.168.0.74 finished grubaa64.efi
Feb 14 13:59:59 rhel in.tftpd[21765]: Client 192.168.0.74 finished /grub.cfg
Using only grubaa64.efi:
Feb 14 14:01:33 rhel in.tftpd[21803]: tftp: client does not accept options
Feb 14 14:01:33 rhel in.tftpd[21804]: Client 192.168.0.74 finished grubaa64.efi
Feb 14 14:01:33 rhel in.tftpd[21805]: Client 192.168.0.74 finished /grub.cfg
Are you using a mix of BOOTAA64.EFI/grubaa64.efi from different releases?
