    Hello,
    I have FOG setup and DHCP, but when I boot the PC it hangs at start PXE over IPv4 then says no boot device found in the UEFI.

    I have tried the vendor policy with Arch 00007, 8, and 9.

    I’ve tried the boot file name (DHCP 67) as undionly.kpxe and ipxe.efi

    according to this https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/WorkingDevices
    I should use undionly.kpxe

    I have DHCP 66 point to the IP address.
    Thank you for the help

      Dell has reused the 7010 name.
      The one from 2014 that says “undionly” is the old one: https://www.dell.com/support/home/es-es/product-support/product/optiplex-7010/

      You will have the new one: https://www.dell.com/support/home/es-es/product-support/product/optiplex-7010-small-ff/

      The new one needs ipxe.efi

      I think you need to update the ipxe that has updated drivers

        @luilly23 To follow on with what luilly23 said. If you have the original 7010 from 10 years ago, that was the first version of Dell desktops that supported UEFI mode. BUT if you tried to pxe boot in uefi mode iPXE would hang at initalizing devices because of a bug in the Dell 7010 uefi firmware that was never fixed by dell. In this case you must use bios mode and undionly.kpxe to boot.

        If you have the modern version of the Dell 7010 and it says no boot device found… The actual problem depends on where you see the error. I’m going to guess this error is when you first turn on the computer and tries to pxe boot. In this case your dhcp server is not sending an IP address or pxe boot info to the client computer. If this is truely the “new” 7010 then your boot file will be ipxe.efi or snponly.efi. If you put a functioning windows computer on the same subnet as your dhcp server, does it get an IP address? That will tell us if your dhcp server is working. Also with that windows computer verify what device is your dhcp server.

        Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG!

          I probably didn’t do this correctly. I’m not very versed in Debian/Linux. I’ve set this up one other time at my previous job about 3 years ago.

          A little bit more background on this. We had FOG before, someone else set it up. It’s since crashed before I arrived and I’m trying to get a new one running. In DHCP, they had ipxe and undionly.

          The port I’m using does get an IP and is in the same range as the FOG server.

          We are using the new 7010 micros. This one is maybe a few months old.

          From the link, https://docs.fogproject.org/en/stable/reference/compile_ipxe_binaries.html I used this command first
          ./buildipxe.sh

          then reinstalled FOG from the original install.
          cd fogproject-1.5.10/bin
          ./installfog.sh

          Thank you
