Facter / Bug FACT-1925
fact pxe_boot => false after pxe-kexec
Issue Type: Bug Bug
Assignee: Unassigned
Components: CLI, Community, DOCS
Created: 2019/05/16 8:12 AM
Environment:

Debian 9.9 (Stretch) has facter 2.4.6 in the repos, Debian 8.11.0 ships facter 2.2.0. 

Happens with both/either.
Labels: pxe facter debian
Priority: Normal Normal
Reporter: Andrew Sparrow

After running pxe-kexec to load initram/kernel and avoid lengthy BIOS wait, facter indicates "pxe_booted => false".

Noticed this because a post-boot puppet one-shot attempted to install raid modules into initram.

Haven't investigated, but this may be as simple as the presence of either BOOT_IMAGE or BOOTIF in /proc/cmdline being used as flags for a PXE booted host (these are not set after a initrd/kernel reload initiated by pxe-kexec and subsequent kexec)

Re: fact pxe_boot => false after pxe-kexec

Bah; please ignore/close. This is a custom fact that hinges off of BOOT_IF (and only BOOT_IF).
