Ipxe does not load - operation not permitted.

[Kamilcuk]

I downloaded image from https://boot.alpinelinux.org/

I'm getting: Operation not permitted (http://ipxe.org/410de13c) , both on PC and in qemu.

I have same the problem, both PC/UEFI & QEMU/lkrnl. It seems this project is dead.

Its about the cipher suites. You try to load from https, most servers don't support the (old) cipher suites of ipxe because of security issues.
For a full list see: https://ipxe.org/crypto

@pide2000 you are correct, this is what i debugged last month but didnt find time to work out a solution.
The problem is that most of our front facing http proxies all have sane defaults, so i need to see if i can fix it differently.

Using this mirror works for us.
http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine
Because of imgverify it shouldn't be a problem to use plain http.
Perfect solution would be to implement modern cipher suites in ipxe but I think this wouldn't happen in the near future.

Sry, this is simply not true. The mirror above redirects to https, we use these mirrors in a later stage of the boot process where https ist provided by the OS. For now we provide the kernel and initrd from a local http server.
For testing purposes one might download the netboot version of alpine and start a http server in the folder where alpine kernel and initrd is located with python -m http.server 80
