Hi Neil Williams,

            Thank you for your reply!  I attach the plain log ! And

please give me some help!

Currently, the uefi-menu boot action does not support transfer_overlay. This will require a code change in LAVA which can be tracked here: https://projects.linaro.org/browse/LAVA-1131

Hopefully we should be able to get this change into the next release, 2017.12.

Best Regards

Hi ,

            I deploy the device with grub(uefi) method.  Now it can

interrupt to grub>, and run the boot cmd and auto login. I use the pxe iso installation boot or the sata boot, not the nfs boot.

 But the lava-overlay file only add into ramdisk(initrd.img), it will

disappear when os bootup. So I use the transfer_overlay in my job , but it do nothing, the test shell can’t be find .

 Please give me some help!

Could you attach the plain_log from the test job itself? You attached lava_424.yaml but that is the validate output, not the job output itself. Use the Actions drop down when viewing the job and select Plain log, then attach the downloaded file.

To use transfer_overlay, the newly booted system must raise a network interface automatically but without seeing the actual output from the device, it is not possible to say why the wget command failed.

Hi Neil Williams,

            Thank you! Now if we  want to use the LAVA only can boot

the device with the NFSROOTFS? Then wait the release, 2017.12

When trying to reproduce your problem, transfer_overlay is called correctly: https://staging.validation.linaro.org/scheduler/job/201505#L878

(transfer_overlay support is called but this particular job doesn't have wget installed and uses the overlay already added to the NFS.)

I'm afraid we do not have a suitable device to reproduce your problem. It isn't uefi-menu which needs to support transfer-overlay, it is grub-efi (which is what is doing the booting of the kernel) and grub-efi already has support for transfer_overlay, as shown above.

Compare your configuration and test job with the mustang and the job above. You may need to do some development testing at your end to identify the problem.
