G4D UEFI - boot Debian 7 - kernel too old (0x020a < 0x020b)

[Gelip]

I'm trying to boot with G4D UEFI Debian 7 instead of Debian 9:

timeout 5 default 0

title Debian 7 (vmlinuz, initrd.img) kernel /images/deb7/vmlinuz boot=live live-media-path=/images/deb7/live/ config username=root initrd /images/deb7/initrd.img

but I have error: kernel too old (0x020a < 0x020b)

I can run the same system without problems under UEFI using Tiny PXE Server + deb7.ipxe script + iPXE.efi

Debian 7 was initially released in 2013, which is almost 10 years ago. It does not have good UEFI support.

Debian 7 ISO does not have a UEFI loader but you can boot it from a PXE server using iPXE and files vmlinuz, initrd.img and filesystem.squashfs

I did tests with Debian7 on different machines with GRUB4DOS 2023-05-07 and PXE: PC 1 Haswell pure UEFI: G4U boot ok but can't find menu.lst because it can't see the flash drive. The root command gives Error 25 - Disk read error Debian7 not boot from PXE

PC 2 - ThinkPad X220 Sandy Bridge UEFI but probably with CSM: G4U boot ok, see flash drive, start boot Debian7 but Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) Debian7 boot OK from PXE
