Yes, this is the new PXE boot menu. Why is it blocking your tests? Do the entries not work for you?

@Nick
yes, our current automation test run still use with old PXE boot menu. Meanwhile, our existed automation test run do not support this NEW PXE boot menu. Also, confirm that this new PXE boot menu does not work with us.
Would you mind helping us change them (or 2 SUT) back to Old PXE boot menu. thanks

@xguo I'm not clear what you mean when you state your tests don't support the new PXE boot menu. Do you have any example jobs?
@livdywan Current our osd automation test runs work with the old PXE boot menu from the attached screenshot.
Meanwhile, please refer to test url - https://openqa.suse.de/tests/11404824#step/boot_from_pxe/2 for getting more details. thanks

https://openqa.suse.de/tests/11404824#step/boot_from_pxe/2 shows a passed test.
Another example of how a test expecting iPXE can work is
https://openqa.suse.de/tests/11859862#step/boot_from_pxe/5
just for your plans that you should consider to support iPXE as well.
Can you please reference a URL to a recent test failure from a reproducing scenario?

The boot_from_pxe module already supports the iPXE setup and automatically acts accordingly if the iPXE menu is detected via needle matching.
iPXE supports UEFI booting and HTTPBoot on both x86_64 and aarch64 while the old pxelinux doesn't.
So you can expect pxelinux to die out eventually.
This is how the module was updated to support iPXE:

Refer to the latest test results of SLES15SP6 build16.1, figure out some test still block by new iPXE boot

The test at https://openqa.suse.de/tests/11961115#step/boot_from_pxe/13 failed, because someone created a needle, with the wrong tags.
Deleted that needle: https://gitlab.suse.de/openqa/os-autoinst-needles-sles/-/commit/1087c3c043d61f80a784f321998f4fb0ae7fd931
Created proper needle: https://gitlab.suse.de/openqa/os-autoinst-needles-sles/-/commit/b9b9db6258fc7e9a7b2a108f136f29172a2fd86a
The tag nue-ipxe-menu is used to detect that the iPXE menu is seen.
