cproudlock	dd2fec5a41	Blancco PXE boot via Ubuntu kernel switch_root ... Blancco's own kernel freezes on Dell Precision towers during PXE boot. Workaround: boot Ubuntu kernel via GRUB chainload, download Blancco's 666MB squashfs rootfs + 132MB kernel modules over HTTP, mount overlay filesystem, and switch_root into Blancco's userspace. - Add blancco-init.sh: custom initramfs init script for switch_root approach - Add blancco-preferences.xml: pre-configured with network share for reports - Update playbook: build initramfs, deploy Ubuntu kernel/modules, config - Update prepare-boot-tools.sh: add HTTP modules to GRUB EFI build - Add UEFI HTTP Boot support to dnsmasq config - iPXE menu chains to grubx64.efi (replaces sanboot of ISO) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-02-18 11:20:00 -05:00
