Pin iPXE to v2.0.0-fog.4 for the restored BIOS command set (1.5) - #997
Merged
Conversation
Port of the working-1.6 fix. 1.5 consumes the same fog-ipxe release assets and generates the same default.ipxe, so it fails identically: a legacy-BIOS client prints "params: command not found" and dies on "Could not boot: Exec format error". Every BIOS PXE boot fails. fog-ipxe v2.0.0-fog.4 restores the eight commands upstream's "Disable commands not historically included in BIOS builds" block turns off for PLATFORM_pcbios. Two matter here: PARAM_CMD, which default.ipxe and bootmenu.class.php's 73 param/params emissions need, and CONSOLE_CMD, used for the boot menu background picture and to gate the first sanboot variant. Also bumps the last-resort fallback in config.sh, still pinned to v2.0.0-fog.1, so a fallback install cannot silently pick a known-broken iPXE. Servers do not self-heal: /tftpboot/undionly.kkpxe is only replaced when the installer re-runs. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Port of #996 to the 1.5 line. Picks up FOGProject/fog-ipxe#3.
1.5 consumes the same fog-ipxe release assets and generates the same
default.ipxe, so it fails identically — verified against this branch, not assumed: itsdefault.ipxegeneration emitsparams/param mac0/boot.php##params, and itsbootmenu.class.phpemitsparam/params73 times. WithoutPARAM_CMDa legacy-BIOS client printsparams: command not foundand dies onCould not boot: Exec format error. Every BIOS PXE boot fails.CONSOLE_CMDcomes from the same upstream block:console --picture(boot-menu background) and theconsole && sanboot --drive 0gate both silently stop working.Also bumps the last-resort fallback in
lib/common/config.sh, still pinned tov2.0.0-fog.1, so a fallback install cannot silently pick a known-broken iPXE.Servers do not self-heal —
/tftpboot/undionly.kkpxeis replaced only when the installer re-runs.Merge after
v2.0.0-fog.4is tagged and published.
