[ipxe-devel] Could not configure console: Error 0x7f4ce08e

[Thomas Miletich]

Hi,
that error code(0x7f4ce08e) indicates that the iPXE EFI framebuffer
driver is having some trouble interacting with EFI.

Could you please build iPXE with debugging for efi_fbcon enabled(e.g.
make <your-ipxe-target>.efi DEBUG=efi_fbcon).
This should print some more detailed error messages.

Thomas
