DESCRIPTION: Customer is trying to provision systems using the ipxe bootdisk method . But for some of the HP G7/G8 systems which use BCM5709 chip on the network cards fails to provision due to older version of ipxe and probably unsupported driver issue. "Try to free Memory without Signature" Customer has the workaround to replace the ipxe images by following https://access.redhat.com/solutions/2143311 but they want Red Hat to update the ipxe images. ANALYSIS: RHEL 7.4 contains the most recent package version of ipxe-bootimgs which is from January 2017: https://access.redhat.com/downloads/content/ipxe-bootimgs/20170123-1.git4e85b27.el7_4.1/noarch/fd431d51/package No more rebases were performed in 7.5-7.6. Flipping to RHEL platform team for further evaluation. waiting on a pm ack so that I can procede with the update *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1597210 *** Thanks for sharing useful information https://watch-wrestling.nl/ |
