Description

We currently have our own naming conventions for grub2 (grub2/grubARCH.efi) which does not work with Grub2 modules. These files require that every architecture is under a subdirectory:

  • ./grub2/i386-efi
  • ./grub2/arm64-efi
  • ./grub2/i386-pc
  • ./grub2/powerpc-ieee1275
  • ./grub2/x86_64-efi

Let's rename PXE loader filenames to comply with that

Netboot directory for x86_64-efi created. Configure your DHCP server to point to tftpboot/grub2/x86_64-efi/core.efi
Netboot directory for i386-pc created. Configure your DHCP server to point to tftpboot/grub2/i386-pc/core.0
Netboot directory for i386-efi created. Configure your DHCP server to point to tftpboot/grub2/i386-efi/core.efi
Netboot directory for powerpc-ieee1275 created. Configure your DHCP server to point to tftpboot/grub2/powerpc-ieee1275/core.elf

This change is only needed when we do #20815

Also as part of this let's create a custom loader which can be then customized via settings.yaml.
