Description of problem:
Trying to boot Fedora using iPXE from GRUB [1], it does not work. Following
the manual how to add the boot menu item, the boot fails with the "kernel too
old" message. Failure with similar symptoms was already reported as bug
894300.
This is probably caused due to iPXE kernel reporting its version as 1.0.0+:
$ file /boot/bfo.lkrn
/boot/bfo.lkrn: Linux kernel x86 boot executable bzImage, version 1.0.0+
(a937), RO-rootFS,
$ file /boot/vmlinuz-3.18.7-200.fc21.x86_64
/boot/vmlinuz-3.18.7-200.fc21.x86_64: Linux kernel x86 boot executable
bzImage, version 3.18.7-200.fc21.x86_64
(address@hidden, RO-rootFS, swap_dev 0x5, Normal VGA
This is rather naive to check some Kernel features by its version. How many
features are backported into RHEL Kernel versions? Could you please decide if
required functionality is available by other means?
BTW I originally reported the issue against fedora-infrastructure [2].

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
$ rpm -q grub2
