It could be that the iPXE images in ipxe-bootimgs-20160127-1.git6366fa7a don't have this problem with ${mac}. Some testing with this image may show the problem is gone.
Also the solution which loops over all nics won't work on the old gitc4bce43 images because they don't have the inc function.
Thanks Steve, Yes it was a problem with iPXE and has been fixed already. |
Description of problem: The iPXE macro ${mac} not not necessarily points to the MAC of the NIC we are booting from (see attachment). The machine is booting from a NIC ending with "95:1a" but the ${mac} variable is returning a MAC address from another NIC. While rare, this situation can happen and we need to make sure our iPXE script is prepared to deal with it, my propose would be to loop over all NICs in order and try to boot from the first one that works Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Random Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: If the big happens the machine will fail to boot Expected results: Machine booting correctly Additional info:
