Lenovo E15 Gen3 PXE Boot

[cwentwo]

I am new to setting up FOG but having trouble with our new Lenovo laptops. I can get an older machine to see the FOG server without issue. I cannot get the new Lenovos to boot to PXE.

I am running Ubuntu 22.04 with FOG Version 1.5.9.148. I have the bootfile set to ipxe.efi.

Appreciate any help I can get!

@cwentwo Well the answer really depends on where you are having issues getting into fog.

1. I can’t see the FOG ipxe menu: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/15826/updating-compiling-the-latest-version-of-ipxe

2. I can see the FOG iPXE menu but when I pick a menu item (like Registration I get an error: Update your FOS Linux kernel FOG WebUI -> FOG Configuration -> Kernel Update. Install FOS Kernel 5.15.x for both x64 and x32 systems.

@george1421 I can see the PXE option and I select IPV4, it goes to the black screen and displays Start PXE over IPV4, then flashes some text and goes back to the boot options.

When I try it a second time it just flashes to a black screen then immediately returns to the boot options.

I have installed Kernel 5.15.34 AMD/Intel 32 and 64 bit (devel)

Turn off secure boot.
