The bootloader default for ipxe, previously set to ipxe.efi was, while consistent with the interface naming, a likely setting that had to be overridden by most deployments, as very little hardware can make use of ipxe.efi for network booting, where as snponly.efi is realistically what should be used in nearly all cases with the exception of some extremely early UEFI supporting hardware, which may happen to work with ipxe.efi *if* support for the network card happens to be compiled in. Note: This was likely never observable in CI as CI leverages firmware with integrated iPXE binaries. Change-Id: I808cf92c98339aa447b4799900066c310e15fd5b

The default UEFI iPXE bootloader, ``[pxe]uefi_ipxe_bootfile_name`` used
|
|
by the ``ipxe`` boot interface, has been changed from ``ipxe.efi`` to
|
|
``snponly.efi``. This is because most deployments actually need to use
|
|
``snponly.efi`` as it contains support for the UEFI integrated network
|
|
stack, where as ``ipxe.efi`` does not and only contained compiled in
|
|
network drivers, for UEFI, there happen to be few as the UEFI
|
|
standard requires networking to be handled by the UEFI firmware.
