new NUC hangs on iPXE menu
-
@sebastian-roth I’ve been meaning to do this for a while: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/15826/updating-compiling-the-latest-version-of-ipxe
I have a feeling that we will need this tutorial in a few open threads.

@george1421 Thanks! We should definitely add this information to docs.fogproject.org…
By the way, are you keen to help in the docs as well?Shouldn’t steal this topic for this kind of stuff, let us switch to chat for that. -
I solved it this way (not sure what solved it in the end): in the beginning, the NUC had UEFI boot only enabled and wouldn’t PXE boot at all. so I enabled lagacy just to get to the iPXE menu (where it hang). I fixed the UEFI boot this way https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=ProxyDHCP_with_dnsmasq - especially the part with adding the different dhcp-vendorclass entries.
I could now PXE boot via UEFI and the problem was gone.
before i did this I downloaded a new kernel from the fog web interface, but I am not sure if this had anything to do with it.
anyway, thanks and any chance to get a working PXE secure boot? disabling secure boot is an option obviously but can be a hassle if you want to fully automate rollouts…

Please search the forums on this topic.

I do this from time to time. Is there anything new beside “not possible because M$” and “here is a howto from 2017 but you need to compile your own kernel version 4.20 between 9pm an 4am”?

@perler In the advanced search options you can sort results by date instead of relevance (default). This way you can find out if there are new infos available pretty quickly.

ok, if I didn’t overlook something, the stance is: this is open source, anyone can contribute, but we (the commenters from the dev team that answered) won’t do it. if this holds, this project more or less ends with windows 10, which in itself ends from a practical point of view in a year or so when everyone rolls out windows 11 by default.
did I miss something?

which really doesn’t help the average admin. but let’s leave it at that.
