Summary0006884: UEFI boot of CentOS-6.5-x86_64-minimal.iso (& CentOS-6.5-x86_64-bin-DVD1.iso) doesn't work
DescriptionBooting an IBM x3650 M4 server using its IMM (Integrated Management Module) Virtual Media, loaded with CentOS-6.5-x86_64-minimal.iso (or CentOS-6.5-x86_64-bin-DVD1.iso) in UEFI mode fails.
Instead of starting Anacoda, a grub prompt ('grub>') shows up.
Entering 'kernel /images/pxeboot/vmlinuz' at the prompt leads to the error '18 : Selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by BIOS'.
Steps To Reproduce-Load & connect IMM Virtual Media with CentOS-6.5-x86_64-minimal.iso
-Configure Server Firmware to boot using UEFI (System Settings, Legacy Support, BBS Boot: Disable).
-Boot from (virtual) CD/DVD-drive
I'm not able to try a physical disk & drive.
Additional Information-UEFI boot from IMM Virtual Media basically works (tried with grml64-full_2013.09.iso and CentOS-6.4-x86_64-minimal.iso).
-A re-created image (centos65.iso) using…
mkdir CentOS-6.5-x86_64-minimal.iso.d
mount -oloop CentOS-6.5-x86_64-minimal.iso CentOS-6.5-x86_64-minimal.iso.d
cd CentOS-6.5-x86_64-minimal.iso.d
xorriso -as mkisofs -U -A centos65 -V centos65 -volset centos65 -J -joliet-long -r -v -T -x ./lost+found -o ../centos65.iso -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -eltorito-alt-boot -e images/efiboot.img -no-emul-boot .
…works.
Command inspired by: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Pjones/BootableCDsForBIOSAndUEFI#New_UEFI.2FBIOS_hybrid_method
-'dumpet -i centos65.iso' output attached.
-Used xorriso version 1.2.2 on OpenSuSE 12.3. What exact command is used to create the official CentOS ISOs?
-Interesting observation: ark (KDE archive tool) displays a filesize of 0 bytes for images/pxeboot/vmlinuz in CentOS-6.5-x86_64-minimal.iso instead of 3,9 MiB in centos65.iso (please see attached screenshots).
In loopback-mounted CentOS-6.5-x86_64-minimal.iso:
ls -l images/pxeboot/vmlinuz
-r-xr-xr-x 2 root root 4128368 29. Nov 13:04 images/pxeboot/vmlinuz

Netinstall - Minimal CD image to start network installations (iso will only work with the corresponding point release, eg one cannot use the netinstall from CentOS Linux 6.2 to install CentOS Linux 6.3. Archived Versions. Base Distribution. An ISO image or.iso (International Organization for Standardization) file is an archive file that contains a disk image called ISO 9660 file system format.
