EFI net support is already implemented in net branch. And rather than saying "rather buggy" please point to exact bugs.

Hi there,

I would like to implement this, however the bzr branch of grub seems to be rather buggy, is there an RC version that I can work from that has this implemented or can you point me to the revision where this was implemented so I can try generating a patch?

Thanks!

PXE support on EFI would be a feature request, not a bug report.

After compiling grub-1.98 there is no pxe.mod, and the resulting efi boot image is not able to pull files via the tftp PXE server.

Means to replicate:

~/src/grub-1.98# ./configure --with-platform=efi --enable-efiemu=no --enable-grub-fstest=no --enable-grub-mkfont=no --prefix=/opt/grub2-efi/

make

make install

:~/src/grub-1.98# find /opt/grub2-efi/ -name pxe.mod
:~/src/grub-1.98#

The resulting EFI grub image is not able to obtain its config file via TFTP:

/opt/grub2-efi/bin/grub-mkimage --output=/tftpboot/efi/grub.efi boot linux part_gpt fat ext2 normal sh configfile lspci ls reboot datetime loadenv search lvm help.mod
