Hello team,
After successfully having installed Ubuntu via Foreman (standard BIOS) I wanted to move forward and tried with EFI. Unfortunately, I cannot get more than a switch between “/grub2/grub.cfg-00:50:56…” octet blksize 1024 and “/httpboot/grub2/grub.cfg-00:50:56” octet blksize 1024. At the end the VM failed due to Virtual CPU entering a shutdown state. TCPDUMP is clear, the same file upload switches between httpboot and ftpboot. I put this filter on tcpdump:
=> tcpdump -vv -i ens33 port tftp
I was expecting to get a full load … I work on WorkStationPro before installing this solution in production environment …
