Dell 5490 aio
-
Hello friends.
Sorry for my bad English.
We have a Fog server version 1.5.9 and bzImage Version:5.10.34 bzImage32 Version: 5.10.34 Network card Intel ethernet i219-lm
We have 200 different Dell computers working fine with Fog server.
We have bought 30 new Dell Optiplex 5490 AIO computers and we want to add them to the Fog server, but we have a problem.
After configuring the bios to boot by PXE and disable secure boot, the computer boots, tries to contact PXE server but does not show the Fog boot menu. Logically it is impossible to register any computer.
I don’t know what to do to make it show the boot menu and I’m afraid of configuring something wrong and that the Fog server not work properly.
Can you help me?
Thank you very much. -
@josecarlos55 Lets start by having you make a new version of iPXE. https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/15826/updating-compiling-the-latest-version-of-ipxe
Its possible that your hardware is newer than the version of iPXE built into FOG.

@george1421 Thank you George for your help.
I will try to update IPXE and let you know if it works well.

I don’t think I will be able to update IPXE, because I haven’t installed Fog with the git method.
Any suggestions? -
@josecarlos55 Compiling the latest iPXE version is also possible if you installed FOG from ZIP or TAR archive.

It’s working!!!
I changed in the dhcp options bootfile bootfile undionly.kpxe by ipxe.efi and it works.
The problem now is that with ipxe.efi the old computers do not boot.
I have to change the boot if they are old or new computers.
At the moment, it’s fine for me.
Thank you. -
