First, do you have docs/links/reference material you might recommend on
building a Fedora-based UEFI PXE server? I'd love to try and get further
on my own and keep questions to a minimum.
I don't remember where I found information. I know I had to figure out
quite a bit of it myself. There might be better references now.
Right now, I've got a KVM/qemu guest configured with UEFI. I've setup
the following;
====
[root@f28-striker01 fedora28]# cat /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux/uefi
I assume there was supposed to be a "grub.cfg" at the end of that line.
It looks ok, but you aren't getting to that yet anyway.
When I PXE boot the UEFI guest, it gets the IP from the PXE server,
downloads uefi/shim.efi, then hangs on 'Fetching Netboot image'. It
never shows a menu.
==== (on EFI guest, transcribed manually)
Start PXE over IPv4
Station IP address is 10.1.14.186
Server IP address is 10.1.4.1
NBP filename is uefi/shim.efi
NBP filesize is 1210776 Bytes
Downloading NBP file...
NBP file downloaded successfully.
Fetching Netboot Image

And there it hangs. I'm not sure how to debug to see more detail on what
it is trying to do. This UEFI PXE booting is totally new for me, so I
may be missing something terribly obvious.
If you could get a log of requests from the tftp server that would have
helped you. However, I don't think it does that. Many times I used
strace on the tftp server to find out what requests it was getting.
I'm guessing that you are missing the "grubx64.efi" file that shim wants
to load. You should be able to get that from the install iso as well.
