Description of problem: bin-i386-efi/ipxe.efi and bin-x86_64-efi/ipxe.efi are not installed by ipxe-bootimgs and should be Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 20150407-1.gitdc795b9f.fc22.noarch How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. install the ipxe-bootimgs package Actual results: bin-i386-efi/ipxe.efi and bin-x86_64-efi/ipxe.efi are not installed Expected results: bin-i386-efi/ipxe.efi and bin-x86_64-efi/ipxe.efi to be installed Additional info: While the 2.5 version of UEFI provides HTTP booting, earlier versions don't. Having bin-*-efi/ipxe.efi installed would allow easier remote booting and/or installation of UEFI systems. You provide undionly.kpxe for BIOS computers, why don't you support UEFI systems as well? It's simply a matter of adusting the specfile. Just because Fedora has apparently abandoned traditional X terminal/thin client/diskless network computing to concentrate on desktop technologies for gamers à la Microsuck, doesn't mean everyone has.
I did a scratch build here: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=12649813 Can you grab the bootimgs RPM and confirm it works for you? I'm not positive I used the write build configuration...

I downloaded and installed the packages, configured dhcp, tftpd, pxelinux, ipxe, (and a fair amount of other software, diskless clients are easy for the end user, not so easy for the server sysadmin) and booted several UEFI diskless clients successfully. I have not thoroughly tested all the features, but, it appears to work for me so far.

I'm not positive > I used the write build configuration... Oops! I had earlier tested the ipxe-x86_64.efi file, but, it turns out that the ipxe-i386.efi file may not be working. I'm getting error 0x7f048283, which may not actually be a problem with the ipxe-i386.efi file. It successfully downloads a kernel and an initrd, but is failing to boot. Remote booting is convoluted at best, and this could easily be a configuration issue. Need to do further research about this before I can definitely say there is a problem with ipxe-bootimgs, although because it is actually downloading bootfiles (whether they're the "right" bootfiles remains to be seen), my gut feeling is that it is a configuration problem, and that ipxe-i386.efi is ok.
Okay, thanks for testing. I built a new rawhide package http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=714038 But I'm still holding off on f22 + f23 packages because of bug 1280318 . So I'll just close this as RAWHIDE, itll be in f22+f23 eventually. If you eventually determine the issue you're hitting is a problem with the package please open a new bug.
