PXE boot hanging on HP Compaq Pro 4300 SFF PC
-
@george1421 For clarity this HP system has a Broadcom BCM 57788 network adapter and since these are in bios (legacy) mode and not uefi. I would start with the following iPXE boot kernels in this order, which is the most common first and for troubled computers then the ipxe.pxe.

undionly.kkpxe

I renamed my file to ipxe.pxe.old and added the new one from the link provided. When I attempted to boot the computer it hung in the same spot. Just with a little more info on the screen.

@swhite Well nuts, we’ll have to get the devs involved then. They have a few debugging versions of the iPXE kernel that may give more insight in whats hanging.
@Developers we may need your assistance on this one.

Any way I could get you to call me?

Sure thing. I am about to leave the office but I will be back Tuesday at 9:00 am EST. Just let me know what time is good for you.

@swhite No problem.

@dbridges Any news on this?

@Sebastian-Roth I took over for dbridges on this issue. Last I heard Tom wanted me to call him but I wasn’t sure how so I sent him a chat with my info. I am available Monday - Friday 9:00 am to 6:00 pm if someone would like to chat.

@swhite I would pull your email address out of this post just to keep the amount of spam down from web crawlers. Stick to DM messages.

Hi Tom,
I also have this problem.
When booting the pxe in uefi I get this error message: no configuration methods succeced https://ipxe.org/err/040ee1
I changed the ipxe.efi file to the latest one from ipxe.org (make bin-x86_64-efi/ipxe.efi )
but the boot remains frozen after initializationthank you for answer

@AndyB. Just so we know this is related. You are seeing this on a HP Compaq Pro 4300 SFF PC as well? If not then please open a new topic and post all your details there.
