Hi, I’m currently trying to get a brand new HP DL580 Gen8 booted into a live image. In difference to the DL380 Gen8 the DL580 Gen8 has an UEFI. I got a pre-release of the box in December and it worked fine, as it had the same Bios as the old Gen7, but the final UEFI-version doesn’t work at all with the
current live system (debian7 - pxe-boot, build with live-build 3.0.5). If I switch back to Legacy mode it boots as usual,.. I made some own Images and tried out some of the live images but none of the worked in any way. The only image that is working with the new HP-UEFI is the official
Debian 7.6 netinstall ISO. It moans “ Error: prefix not set” in first Grub-Screen, but after a while it shows the normal install dialog
J I use my live-system just for automated Inventory maintenance and firmware patching, so I don’t need the installer. Could it
be, that the bit of magic that makes the net-installer UEFI-bootable, comes just with the installer packages ???? I’m digging in the live image-git repos for hours and I haven’t found components for uefi-systems in any of them (efi-reader
or grub-efi packages or hooks, etc.). Before I start with the “try and error” process, I would like to ask if somebody has the config for the net-install-iso-7.6
Best regards and thanks in advance
