    It’s already installed. I’m working on building the files now…

      For the Dell Optiplex 7010,
      I built intel.efi using this command:
      [FONT=Tahoma][CODE]make bin-x86_64-efi/intel.efi EMBED=ipxescriptfile DEBUG=intel:3[/CODE][/FONT]
      [FONT=Tahoma]I copied that over to the /tftpboot directory.[/FONT]
      I changed option 067 on the DHCP server to intel.efi

      Booted up the target computer, and it hangs on this: “Initializing devices…”
      Here are packet captures from the DHCP server, and from the FOG server:

        Just built realtek.efi
        The Lenovo L530 does the same thing with realtek.efi

        Just sits at “iPXE initialising devices…”

          UPDATE:

          At work today, I installed FOG/w DHCP on a Dell Optiplex 7010. Revision 3246

          I put it on it’s own little isolated network, with no connections to the outside world… on a 100Mbps unmanaged switch (an old Asante).

          It serves up x.x.x.x/fog/management and dhcpd is running without errors, and gives out IPs correctly.

          On my Lenovo L530 in BIOS mode, I can get to the FOG boot menu.

          However, when changing the boot file to ipxe.efi, snp.efi, or snponly.efi and the laptop to UEFI, I get the same thing…
          “iPXE initializing devices…” and it just sits there.


          An interesting side note is that using this build, and BIOS with undionly.kpxe,
          my Lenovo L530 passes all the compatibility checks, but when I try to do a full registration, it tells me “Invalid MAC”.

          Of course, I did do a full host registration with our production FOG server (r3240) and it works fine.


          By building and testing this, I’ve only further verified it’s something with the files…
          I was really hoping it would work… thus leading me to find what I screwed up on the production server… but no luck 😞

            Any DEBUG output you see before this???

            Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

              None at all. It gets IP configuration from DHCP, shows that very briefly, and then sits at the “iPXE initializing devices…”

              I’m going to do some surfing tonight for other bootfiles for UEFI.

              Would any work? They need to be 64 bit, probably? As I understand it, the boot file simply places drivers to get the network interface working right (and maybe other stuff?) and then calls a kernel to begin execution?

                How can I add the Linux drivers into ipxe.efi that are listed here: [url]http://www.realtek.com.tw/Downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=13&PFid=5&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false[/url]

                    Well this blows…

                    I don’t know what to do.

                    I was attempting this endeavor simply so I could work on DHCP classes for Server 2012…
                    I suppose I need to find a device that actually works with ipxe.efi to do this.

                        I guess I’d need to get my hands on this myself. It just takes too long back and forth debugging this. I’ll see what EFI devices we have at work and will give it a go!

                            I was under the impression that to run UEFI as netboot I would need my dhcp server to be server 2013 or higher which I don’t have in my current environment.

                              Just change your boot file to ipxe.efi or snp.efi or snponly.efi

                                  Just bumping this thread with an update about the OP, I just tried the L530 in UEFI network booting mode with svn 4323 cloud 5293 and no luck. I do know I have ISC-DHCP configured correctly, the correct filename ipxe.efi is handed out, and the last time I checked the file transfer did happen.

                                  I’ll try to UEFI network boot a Optiplex 7010 tomorrow and see what happens… fingers crossed.

                                          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!
