Hi !

To resolv this problem I have had to add the section that deals with the pxeclients class into the group section of the DHCP template.

I’ve replaced the condition that load the net bios file under the “group” section:

filename "$iface.filename";

By these lines

#filename "$iface.filename";

    class "pxeclients" {

          match if substring (option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 9) = "PXEClient";

          if option pxe-system-type = 00:02 {

                  filename "ia64/elilo.efi";

          } else if option pxe-system-type = 00:06 {

                  filename "grub/grub-x86.efi";

          } else if option pxe-system-type = 00:07 {

                  filename "grub/grub-x86_64.efi";

} else {

                  filename "pxelinux.0";

          }

     }

That’s it.

Hi experts !

I’m testing Cobbler and I’m stuck when I try to deploy CentOS 7 on VMware VM (ESX 5.5) with EFI bios activated.

I don’t see anything about specific configuration I should have added on the official documentation. In DHCP log I can see the requested boot file is pxelinux.0 instead of grub-x86_64.efi but I don’t know why.

Thx for any help!
