Customising Anaconda uEFI boot menu to include kickstart parameter
Hi
I am producing a remastered RHEL 6.5 which contains a custom kickstart. I have got the ISO to boot using the kickstart from a BIOS boot by making the standard modifications to isolinux.cfg (i.e. "append initrd=initrd.img ks=cdrom:/ks-x86_64.cfg"). However I cannot locate the correct file(s) to perform the same customisation when I boot to UEFI. I can enter the "ks=cdrom:/ks-x86_64.cfg" parameter to the UEFI anaconda boot menu by editing the kernel parameters but I cannot find a way of customising it like you can with editing isolinux.cfg.
Does anyone know how to customise the anaconda boot parameters when using UEFI?
Many thanks

Hey Aidan - I don't know this for certain (and don't have time to validate right now) but hopefully to get you moving forward.
Look in /EFI/BOOT in your media. It seems to resemble what is in /isolinux
Specifically, check out BOOTX64.conf
#debug --graphics
default=0
splashimage=/EFI/BOOT/splash.xpm.gz

I'll revisit this later if I have something to update/change. But, hopefully this is correct and helpful. ;-)
Yes, uefi is becoming more popular now, uefi is standard now for HP G9 servers, while IBM/Lenovo x series made uefi standard couple years ago.
Satellite 6 is falling behind, so far, it doesn't support pxe uefi kickstart, reasons are:
1. tftp server doesn't have uefi boot image, only has bios boot image;
2. dhcp server config doesn't have have definition for uefi based pxe request. This actually isn't a satellite/foreman issue, because foreman is missing the function of update dhcpd.conf when a subnet defined.
3. A uefi compatible pxe config file is missing when a new host defined in foreman/satellite.
the one that defined in /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg only works for bios based pxe.
Based on the 3 issues, I got pxe uefi kickstart working this morning, by addressing the above 3 accordingly:
- Manually add uefi boot image to ttftp server:
[root@capsule tftpboot]# pwd
/var/lib/tftpboot
[root@capsule tftpboot]# cd efi/
[root@capsule efi]# ls
bootx64.efi efidefault images splash.xpm.gz TRANS.TBL

- Add one section to serve uefi based pxe request, so the cliet will get bootx64.efi boot image instead of pxelinux.0
class "pxeclients" {
match if substring (option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 9) = "PXEClient";
next-server 10.1.1.1;
if option arch = 00:06 {
filename "efi/bootia32.efi";
} else if option arch = 00:07 {
filename "efi/bootx64.efi";
} else {
filename "pxelinux.0";
}
}
- every time when a new host defined in satellite 6/foreman, you will get a unattended provision url, copy this url, replace the ks url in /var/lib/tftpboot/efi/efidefault,
Now you should be able to kickstart a uefi system via pxe in a satellite 6/capsule environment.
Hi,
I am trying to create a custom iso for kickstart builds on servers with UEFI. From looking at the post, it looks like you were able to create a boot iso for EFI. If that is the case, what were the steps that you followed to create it? I am struggling to find good detailed info.
Thanks,
David
Hi David,
There are probably better/different ways of doing this but this is how I got it to work:
- Loop mount the install iso.
- Create local disk copies of "isolinx", "EFI" and "images" directories.
- Modify files in isolinux & EFI directories as required (e.g. isolinux.cfg and EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.conf)
- Create the new ISO:
mkisofs -o my.iso \
-R -J -A "MyProject" \
-hide-rr-moved \
-v -d -N \
-no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table \
-b isolinux/isolinux.bin \
-c isolinux/isolinux.boot \
-eltorito-alt-boot -no-emul-boot \
-eltorito-boot images/efiboot.img \
-x ${mountDIR}/isolinux \
-x ${mountDIR}/images \
-x ${mountDIR}/EFI \
-x .svn \
-graft-points /path/to/loopmount/install_dvd my_kickstart.cfg=my_kickstart.cfg isolinux/=isolinux images=images EFI=EFI
The isolinux.cfg and BOOTx64.conf should contain a reference to the ks file, for example:
(isolinux.cfg)
label linux
menu label ^Install OS using kickstart
menu default
kernel vmlinuz
append initrd=initrd.img ks=cdrom:/my_kickstart.cfg

initrd /images/pxeboot/initrd.img

Hope this helps. I've tested it using a VMware EFI emulation but not in anger on any "real" EFI systems.

Thanks for the info. We are building new servers on HP gen8 and 9 servers. The Gen9's are defaulting to UEFI. For this go around I reverted back to legacy, but we will have more builds to come. So it would be nice to figure a way to boot and install using UEFI. I am guessing that is the direction hardware vendors are going. Also interesting that it was not too easy to find a lot of good info. Just pieces here and there.
I will give this a try on the next hardware build using EFI.
Thanks again!
Hi Aidan
Thanks again for the info. I was troubleshooting why boot from SAN was not working with a HP bl460Gen9 blade. I was trying legacy mode, but would not boot after install from kickstart. Waiting For HP on this issue.
However, I created a dual boot ISO, legacy and EFI. I was able to set the bios to EFI and image the server from kickstart. I just added the following to EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.conf:
debug --graphics

splashimage=/EFI/BOOT/splash.xpm.gz

There was only one instance where the ISO booted up and was went to a grub menu. Not sure why, but rebooted and everything was good. So your steps also work with physical as well.

Hi Sarah,
To setup a dual legacy and EFI boot iso, I mount the latest RHEL 6.x dvd and copy the following directories to a work area on my server.
EFI/ images/ isolinux
If you are just setting up legacy boot, you can ignore the EFI and images directories.
Here is an example of what I am putting in the isolinux.cfg
------start of file --------

Then you have to run mkisofs to create the iso.
Hope that helps.

But the machine doesn't see the iso
Thanks for the help

Hi Sara,
I ran into the same thing earlier this year. We started using Gen9's. We had issues with boot from San and switching them to legacy mode, so we went with EFI, aka UEFI. EFI or UEFI boot is a different method of managing booting the OS. It was developed by HP in the Itanium servers. But you can search for the features and differences with legacy boot.
The way I went after booting with an ISO for kickstart installs is to create a dual boot ISO, legacy and EFI boot. Anything that will boot from legacy mode will read the isolinux.cfg and EFI mode will read the Bootx64.conf.
To create a dual ISO, create directory and copy EFI/ images/ isolinux/ directories from an install DVD. Next all you legacy boot entries will go into the isolinux/isolinux.cfg. You can see the example I have above. For EFI, you will have to edit the EFI/BOOT/BOOTx64.conf. Here is an example of what I put into mine.
-----start------
debug --graphics

------End------
In the example above, I put in an example of setting an IP as well as using DHCP. After you edit your legacy or EFI configs, then you have to create the ISO. Here is what I run to create a dual ISO:
- cd into the directory that contains the 3 directories I mentioned earlier.
- run > mkisofs -o ../my-iso-name.iso -R -J -A "MyDualISO" -hide-rr-moved -v -d -N -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/isolinux.boot -eltorito-alt-boot -no-emul-boot -eltorito-boot images/efiboot.img -x ${mountDIR}/isolinux -x ${mountDIR}/images -x ${mountDIR}/EFI .
Also, after this is done, your kickstart will need to be able to work with EFI boots. First, the partition table will need to be gpt. Next, the bootloader location needs to be partition. Last, you will need a partition /boot/efi with fstype as efi and size 200.
If you need help with that, I can send you my disk layout from my kickstart config. Just let me know.
Regards,
David
Hello David, how are you. I am also trying to create an iso that supports dual boot , i am now testing the UEFI boot and it works however i still need to customize the menu to list my different kickstarts, etc.
After copying the directories i needed i created the iso running mkisofs however i did not have the following lines in my command:
-x ${mountDIR}/isolinux -x ${mountDIR}/images -x ${mountDIR}/EFI .
Would you mind explaining me why those are needed and which would be the $(mountDIR) , i guess is the parent directory where those 3 subdirectories are, right? in my case would be iso
iso_cfg/
├── EFI
│ └── BOOT
├── images
│ └── pxeboot
└── isolinux
thanks in advance
Hi Ivan,
I am almost sure you do not need them. The -x is similar to the -m, which if you look in the man page, it allows you to exclude files. I was basing my mkisofs command off the one in this thread above. I thought I removed it from the one I use, but I still have it in.
Try removing it and see what happens. Can you let me know the outcome? Just curious.
Hi David,
Yes please, let me know what you have in your kickstart config about the disk layout.
Thanks,
Sara
Hi Sara,
I am setting up my disk partitioning in a pre section, then writing the disk to a file that gets included. The script will check for all drives and then only select a disk that is greater than 130000MB, roughly 126GB. This is to deal with the ISO, USB, or cdrom that you are using to image the server. It will ignore that and select my disk which is 134GB.

Hello everyone,
I have a similar requirement, in our case we use ISO images to kickstart our servers. With pieces of information from this thread as well as some other resources out there, I have been able to get the RHEL6 side working. Now, I am also trying to do this for RHEL7, and things seem to have changed. The BOOTX64.conf seems to be getting ignored and GRUB2/grub.conf seems to be the one been taken into account. Any insights on how to work this out on RHEL7? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Hello,
For RHEL7 on UEFI systems, the file you want to modify on the boot media is BOOT/EFI/grub.cfg. You can append the inst.ks=
After you change grub.cfg to your preferences, you can follow the instructions in the Anaconda Customization Guide to create a new bootable ISO image with the modified boot menu.
Hello, just a update to help a few people along te way on Rhel 7.3 the dual(UEFI/Bios) boot iso, it can be build with a few steps.
Use following steps : Copy the content from a iso boot image say "rhel-server-7.3-x86_64-boot.iso" to your own image directory. Where you modify your dualboot image. Modify the EFI/Boot/grub.cfg for your UEFI boot needs. Modify the isolinux/isolinux.xfg for your BIOS based Boot needs.
Now the right mkisofs command( this one did it for me) Start this in the root of your own image directory mkisofs -U -A "RHEL-7.3 x86_64" -V "RHEL-7.3 x86_64" -volset "RHEL-7.3 x86_64" -J -joliet-long -r -v -T -x ./lost+found \ -o ../Kickstart_lab_7.3-disc1-dualboot.iso -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 \ -boot-info-table -eltorito-alt-boot -e images/efiboot.img -no-emul-boot .
The volume name ( "RHEL-7.3 x86_64") may come back to bite you ( haven't tried to change it) This label important in the Uefi part of your dual boot and comes back in the EFI/BOOT/grub.cfg. In two places, first in the search line and second after inst.stage2 parameter in the menu entry.
------------------- snippet grub.cfg------
search --no-floppy --set=root -l 'RHEL-7.3 x86_64'
--### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/10_linux ###-- menuentry 'Install Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.3' --class fedora --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os { linuxefi /images/pxeboot/vmlinuz inst.stage2=hd:LABEL=RHEL-7.3\x20x86_64 quiet initrdefi /images/pxeboot/initrd.img
}After the inst.stage2 you can place your inst.ks parameters you need.
The isolinux/isolinux.cfg has your bios based boot parameter
Have fun.. and good luck
Hi Systeembeheer Beeldengelui, Thanks for the information in your post. I am working on creating UEFI Kickstart .cfg and bootable iso/USB to boot UEFI workstations and laptops and install RHEL7. All of the time I was getting problems with the usb not booting, or booting and then getting dracut error messages each time. Then I read your line: "The volume name ( "RHEL-7.3 x86_64") may come back to bite you" - and then I noticed that it's mentioned in grub.cfg like "LABEL=RHEL-7.3\x20x......". Once I used the correct original name, the usb boot works for me.
So to all others - UEFI boot/install works great to boot from usb and install automatically through kickstart. However in my case, I don't want to go to all of this trouble to make an ISO and then make a bootable usb each time. So I added the kickstart info to grub as "ks=http://192.168.7.100/kickstart/workstations.cfg". And now all i need to do is push any changes to kickstart to the http server at 192.168.7.100 , and then boot any system from the usb drive.
Hello, All this is good information, I have had to figure out before. One question I have is, does any of this support secure UEFI boot? I have tried with basically the above method(s) to no avail. Does anyone have any insight on what is required? Thanks!
Hello,

fiOn reboot UEFI boot went to emergency mode with the reason /boot/efi mount failed.
Job boot-efi.mount/start failed with result dependency ...
My /etc/fstab uses LABEL instead of UUID. I tried changing UUID of /boot/efi alone and then reboot. System up and i can see /boot/efi mounted in df -h Any suggestions here?
