Univention Bugzilla – Bug 48122
Regenerate pxelinux config files when kernel/initrd are changed
Last modified: 2021-05-14 16:34:27 CEST
PXE Linux configs are saved for individual computers in the directory /var/lib/univention-client-boot/pxelinux.cfg/ Via the UCRVs pxe/installer/kernel and pxe/installer/initrd a certain release installer can be specified. The values of these variables are used when the pxelinux configs are generated in /var/lib/univention-client-boot/pxelinux.cfg/ The pxelinux config file for a certain computer object is only regenerated when reinstallation attributes of that attribute are changed (e.g. reinstallation deactivated and activated again). I propose to trigger a rewrite of all existing pxelinux cfgs when pxe/installer/(kernel|initrd) is changed. If a user decides to change the kernel and initrd to use for pxe installations, they'd have to change reinstallation attributes for every single computer to actually apply the new config.
