Bug ID: 1174734
Summary: grub can't be insntalled like that for UEFI network
installation
Product: Fedora Documentation
Version: devel
Component: installation-quick-start-guide
Assignee: pbokoc(a)redhat.com
Reporter: quintela(a)redhat.com

Description of problem:
Instructions in page:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/20/html/Installation_Guide/s1...
don't work. grubx64.efi is not able to boot through the network. What you
need is something more similar to:
grub2-mknetdir --net-directory /var/lib/tftpboot/uefi/ --subdir x64-efi
and change:
filename "pxelinux/bootx64.efi";
to (with the paths that I showed):
filename "uefi/x64-efi/core.efi"
Configuration file is searched as:
file /mnt/mirror/tftp/efi-x64/grub.cfg-01-3c-97-0e-da-28-fb not found
file /mnt/mirror/tftp/efi-x64/grub.cfg-C0A80ACB not found
file /mnt/mirror/tftp/efi-x64/grub.cfg-C0A80AC not found
file /mnt/mirror/tftp/efi-x64/grub.cfg-C0A80A not found
file /mnt/mirror/tftp/efi-x64/grub.cfg-C0A80 not found
file /mnt/mirror/tftp/efi-x64/grub.cfg-C0A8 not found
file /mnt/mirror/tftp/efi-x64/grub.cfg-C0A not found
file /mnt/mirror/tftp/efi-x64/grub.cfg-C0 not found
file /mnt/mirror/tftp/efi-x64/grub.cfg-C not found
file /mnt/mirror/tftp/efi-x64/grub.cfg not found
(change /mnt/mirror/tftp/ for whatever is your tftpboot)
And format of the file is something like:
set timeout=1
menuentry 'Fedora 21' {
linuxefi fedora/21/x86_64/vmlinuz
ks=http://mirror.mitica/kickstart/x86_64-21-standalone.cfg ksdevice=link
initrdefi fedora/21/x86_64/initrd.img
}
And I haven't found any use for efidefault, not being able to use pxelinux from
inside grub (in efi systems).
If you have any questions, please, let me know.
Thanks, Juan.
PD. I use dnsmasq instead of dhcp-server, but it shouldn't be a different for
this.
