HP ProBook 445 G2 Not Displaying iPXE Menu Correctly

That change worked! The screen doesn’t have our background image and different colored text. What does that mean we need to do to get the regular console back?
Sounds like you were using a custom background image. I am wondering if it’s that in particular causing the scrembled output? Have you tried using the default picture that comes with the FOG install on the HP ProBook 445 G2 yet (download here if you don’t have it anymore)?
Great we figured out the background picture is causing this! A first major step. George’s idea is great to just use the alternative console (no picture) for this model. But still I would try to use the default picture first.

@sebastian-roth I just wanted to check-in. Just letting you know I am trying to get this tested but because of the holidays and COVID exposure I am unable to be on-site to test this. It will most likely be in early January as to being able to go back on-site. I will provide an update once we are able to get this tested. We are using a custom background and will try to use a default background of both the white and black.

@sebastian-roth Ok. We were finally able to test this today. I tried both the standard bg and bgdark images and all of them are doing the same thing.

@quinniedid Ok, looks like this is not due to the picture you used but a general issue with displaying the image on the HP ProBook 445 G2. So far I have not found any hint on other people reporting this issue to iPXE and I would suspect this to be kind of an endeavor to figure out even with the help of iPXE developers. Though you can still report it on github or the forums.
The easier way is just using the workaround that George came up with. Not fancy but way less effort than figuring this one out I suppose.
