Hi guys

Is there a way to get the new HP ProBook X360 11 G1 EE
to pxe boot with fog have tried it every which way

@smcadm What error do you see? Does it hang at one stage? Please post a picture of the screen where you think things go wrong.

As well we need to know which version of FOG you use and which OS on the FOG server you have installed.

It looks like that probook has a built in ethernet adapter (a good thing) that is based on a realtek chip (Realtek RTL8111HSH). So at least you should have a network adapter that is supported for uefi pxe booting.

I don’t know the HP models, but do you need to enable uefi pxe booting in the firmware? On the Dells, pxe booting must be enabled in the firmware for uefi mode.

It sounds like this isn’t a FOG issue since the notebook isn’t getting an IP address at all. What device provides your dhcp addresses on your network?

@smcadm Seems like google is your friend here - see this:

Updating the Bios firmware has done the trick and PXE boot is working now…

I really don’t understand what’s wrong with HP notebook’s firmware?! We’ve see the weirdest things happening (fatally wrong initialized registers would cause the linux kernel to freeze when booting on the HP x2 210 devices - they send us a patched firmware more than a year ago but have not released a patched firmware officially yet…). So to make a long story short, I really wouldn’t wonder if PXE booting is going to work for you after firmware upgrade.
