Hi fellows.

Hope you’re doing well.

i’m trying to boot Fedora 37 server netinstall from pxe via tftp/http(s)

I follow the documentation here.

Everything is in place.

here is my grub menuentry :


menuentry 'Install Fedora 37'  --class fedora --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os --id fedora37https{
        linux uefi/vmlinuz ip=dhcp inst.repo=https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/37/Server/x86_64/os/ inst.rdinitdebug inst.rdbreak inst.rdnetdebug inst.loglevel=debug console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200 rd.shell
        initrd uefi/initrd.img
}

The booting process seems ok :

Figured it out !

I didn’t have enough ram on the VM that makes sense.
