Package: grub-pc-bin
Version: 2.00-14
File: /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/pxe.mod
Severity: important
Tags: d-i
Control: affects -1 debian-installer

Hi,

Since upstream version 2.00, a GRUB2 PXE image fails to set
grub_net_default_server and so is unable to proceed with booting.

I built the image with:

> grub-mkimage -O i386-pc-pxe --prefix="(pxe)" -o grub2pxe pxe tftp

The image is not given a multiboot signature.

I'm testing under Qemu with iPXE firmware (but with Etherboot it shows
the same issue).

> $ qemu-system-x86_64 -m 128 -enable-kvm -net nic -net user,bootfile=grub2pxe,tftp=. -boot n

It fails like this:

> iPXE 1.0.0+git-20120202.f6840ba-3 -- Open Source Network Boot Firmware -- http:/
> /ipxe.org
> Features: HTTP iSCSI DNS TFTP AoE bzImage COMBOOT ELF MBOOT PXE PXEXT
> 
> net0: 52:54:00:12:34:56 using E1000_DEV_ID_82540EM on PCI00:03.0 (open)
>   [Link:up, TX:0 TXE:0 RX:0 RXE:0]
> DHCP (net0 52:54:00:12:34:56)...... ok
> net0: 10.0.2.15/255.255.255.0 gw 10.0.2.2
> Next server: 10.0.2.2
> Filename: grub2pxe
> tftp://10.0.2.2/grub2pxe... ok
> Welcome to GRUB!
> 
> error: no server is specified.
> Entering rescue mode...    

net_ls_addr shows no output.

If I run net_bootp manually, it gets an IP address and sets
net_pxe_dhcp_*, but still does not set net_default_server or
pxe_default_server.

If I set net_default_server manually (to 10.0.2.2) I can then fetch
files via TFTP through the "(pxe)" device.

Changes:
 debian-installer (20141002) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   [ Samuel Thibault ]
   * Add speech synthesis entries in alternate desktop boot menus.
   * Add keyboard shortcut for Advanced options menu.
 .
   [ Ian Campbell ]
   * Depend on mklibs >= 0.1.40 for ARM EABI fixes relating to the handling
     of__aeabi_* symbols (Closes: #758581).
   * Switch to installing Jessie by default on ARM64.
   * Build netboot mini.iso on ARM64.
   * Build cdrom flavour for ARM64.
 .
   [ Cyril Brulebois ]
   * Deal with even more incompatible changes on the syslinux side by
     adding a syslinux-utils build-dep (Closes: #751731), no thanks to its
     maintainer as far as cooperation is concerned (See: #751724, #759189).
   * Bump linux kernel version from 3.14-2 to 3.16-2.
   * Drop code snippet meant to ensure every checkout would get an updated
     sources.list.udeb (with [trusted=yes]), since that was meant to be
     temporary, and that was almost 2 years ago.
   * Replace ttf-kannada-fonts-udeb with fonts-knda-udeb.
   * Specify -j1 for the submake definition in build/Makefile; that's what
     happens anyway, and warnings go away accordingly.
   * Add fonts-lohit-guru-udeb to gtk images, fixing rendering for Punjabi
     (Closes: #761573).
   * Apply patch from Ron and Chris Kuehl to fix lib location and search
     path for syslinux >= 5. Some constraints include having ldlinux.c32
     in the tftp root, and being able to find some support libraries
     thanks to a defined path (Closes: #756275). Many thanks!
   * Update translation-status for the release.
 .
   [ Frederic Bonnard / Aurelien Jarno ]
   * Add ppc64el support installing sid (Closes: #754093).
 .
   [ Steven Chamberlain ]
   * On kfreebsd and hurd, which use GRUB for PXE booting, request two
     additional modules in the grub-mkimage step: (Closes: #759686)
     - tftp: required since GRUB 2.02 otherwise PXE boot will crash/hang
     - gfxterm_background: required since GRUB 2.02 for the boot splash
       image functionality to be available
     - raise the grub-pc (and indirectly grub-common) build dependency to
       >= 2.02~beta2~ on these architectures, because module
       gfxterm_background did not exist in GRUB 2.00
     - raise the xorriso build dependency to >= 1.3.2-1~ on these
       architectures, for compatibility with grub-mkrescue in GRUB 2.02
 .
   [ Joey Hess ]
   * Remove desktop selection from syslinux; now available in tasksel.
   * remove desktop=xfce preseeding on kfreebsd-* and hurd, since tasksel
     3.27 knows about architecture-specific defaults (Closes: #762614).
 .
   [ Ben Hutchings ]
   * Keep Linux modules.builtin file in the initrd.
   * Update new-kernel-checklist.txt for the last few years' changes.
