Enabling legacy mode will fix this issue.

But that’s not a nice solution I suppose, right?

From the picture you posted it looks like it properly loads the ipxe.efi file (prints size in Bytes) and just hangs when trying to execute it.

Which version of FOG do you use? We just updated the iPXE binaries for 1.5.6 and possibly there was a change in their code that might cause this.

First you can try other binaries. Change your DHCP config and point it to snponly.efi or snp.efi instead for UEFI machines. If that hangs as well you might try older binaries. You can download the one we shipped with 1.5.5 here: https://github.com/FOGProject/fogproject/raw/1.5.5/packages/tftp/ipxe.efi

Make sure your firmware is up to date in this hardware. Its failing between the UEFI PXE rom hand off and iPXE starting. Typically when we’ve seen this in the past it was related to cruddy early generation firmware.
