<p>I don't see anything that should cause a problem if you increase
the value. Did you do a clean build after changing it? I don't
quite trust the UEFI build system. What size did you set it to?</p>

<p>That's a bit odd. It ought to be as simple as increasing the

<p>It looks like what's going on is as Daniel
described. Hagfish seems to use an API call
(get_file_size) that's supported by EDK2, but not by
many commercial offerings. I think it'd almost
certainly be possible to update Hagfish such that it
doesn't depend on it - something like preallocating
a "reasonably-sized" buffer, and if it turns out it
wasn't big enough trying again with a larger one.
It's been a few years since I wrote this stuff, but
I think you'll get back an EFI_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL if
it was too small, and *BufferSize will be filled
with the actual size so that you can reallocate the
buffer. We'd be happy to integrate a patch if you
wanted to modify it.</p>

U-Boot’s EFI support is rather

cause was the same in my case.
Looking at the iPXE source code
though it looks to me as if it only
supports the
EFI_PXE_BASE_CODE_MTFTP_READ_FILE
opcode while Hagfish also needs the
EFI_PXE_BASE_CODE_MTFTP_GET_FILE_SIZE operation to allocate
appropriately sized buffers for the

style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:sans-serif;color:#26282A;">Sebastian,</span></p>
<p><span
style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:sans-serif;color:#26282A;">Hagfish
is a custom loader
for the Barrelfish
CPU driver, which
operates under a
few unusual
assumptions:
Mainly, the CPU
driver (kernel)
itself is not
self-relocating,
but relies on the
bootloader
(Hagfish) to do
the relocation for
it.</span></p>
<p><span
style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:sans-serif;color:#26282A;">It
would definitely
be possible to
modify Hagfish to
load an arbitrary
ELF, however.
You'd have to make
a few changes in
the relocation
code to not look
for
Barrelfish-specific
segments and so
on, but there's
nothing
particularly weird
or non-standard
about it.</span></p>
<p><span
style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:sans-serif;color:#26282A;">Hagfish
is pretty static,
and doesn't change
much from version
to version. We'll
update the
repository shortly
(which we should
have done together
with the
release). Feel
free to ask more
specific questions
if you decide to
use it - we're
happy to help.</span></p>

minor
modifications?
Or is there
