Hello,  
a boot image created using “cobbler buildiso” is not bootable using EFI bios. How can I create a boot image which is compatible with EFI?  
Thanks  
Achim

If you’re on VMware, then in my experience make sure you turn off **Secure Boot**  
Are you using PXE? You should be able to specify EFI or non-EFI there

I try using cobbler buildiso as well for an DMZ Client Installation. But it brings me not the expected ISO for an disconnected Installation…

So now I use “mksusecd” and create an ISO with integreated autoyast file… Efi support is working out of the box. Remember, that you have to use grub2 not isolinux. Same for PXE boot.

So for what kind of installation you build the ISO ?
