Description Yiannis Bonatakis 2023-06-28 14:26:05 UTC 
## Observation
This is a problem raised trying to install and boot from an image served by warewulf via PXE.
The image is registry.suse.de/suse/containers/sle-micro/5.3/containers/suse/sle-micro-rancher/5.3:latest and works just fine on x86_64.

Full output of the node trying to boot can be found here: https://openqa.suse.de/tests/11433964/logfile?filename=serial0.txt
which i see the following error a couple of times with different InstallProtocolInterface


```
[Security] 3rd party image[0] can be loaded after EndOfDxe: .
InstallProtocolInterface: 5B1B31A1-9562-11D2-8E3F-00A0C969723B 13A387040
Unloading driver at 0x00000000000
Could not boot: Exec format error (https://ipxe.org/2e008081)

There was an error, rebooting in 15s...
```


openQA test in scenario sle-15-SP5-Kernel-Devel-Experiments-aarch64-hpc_ww4_compute1@aarch64-virtio fails in
[ww4_await_pxe_install](https://openqa.suse.de/tests/11433964/modules/ww4_await_pxe_install/steps/18)

## Test suite description
second compute node for warewulf booting from network (PXE) after the controller is ready for connection.


## Reproducible

Fails since (at least) Build [ww4](https://openqa.suse.de/tests/11433829)


## Expected result

Last good: (unknown) (or more recent)


## Further details

Always latest result in this scenario: [latest](https://openqa.suse.de/tests/latest?arch=aarch64&distri=sle&flavor=Kernel-Devel-Experiments&machine=aarch64-virtio&test=hpc_ww4_compute1&version=15-SP5)

I'm wondering what made you think that this has anything with the installer, but could not find out. Reassigning.

Please get inspired at https://confluence.suse.com/display/YAST/How+to+Write+a+Good+Bug+Report
Comment 2 Stefan Hundhammer 2023-06-28 15:17:58 UTC 
Simple rule: If the kernel doesn't even boot into the installation, there is no way it can be an installer bug.
Comment 3 Stefan Hundhammer 2023-06-28 15:18:48 UTC 
Hint: You might want to check your PXE installer infrastructure and network connectivity.
Comment 4 Takashi Iwai 2023-07-10 16:02:05 UTC 
No logs are available.  Is it still an issue?

The above doesn't look like a kernel issue, either.

This seems to be infra problem with slow network during the tests. Closing as invalid
