Intel UNDI Stuck Initializing

[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 45576, member: 7271”]Ah,

Then if you can change back the file to make the mac0’s proper again, we know then that that is not the issue.[/quote]

So why would gPXE work and iPXE not? Are we looking at a source code issue with the realtek driver?

[Tom Elliott]

Well,

I’m more interested in how you’re trying to boot. It seems, to me, that you’re trying to boot using efi, but the nic is trying to load through legacy. Does this sound about correct?

I have tried loading both ways. Legacy and Uefi using a .efi and same issue with the configuring net0 then times out. I would prefer to do legacy because we have over 200 of these that need to be imaged.

Do you have Spanning Tree Protocol on your network? If so, can you disable it? If you can’t disable it, could you try enabling PortFast/Rapid STP?

Spoke to my boss and we are already using PortFast.

EDIT: And I am performing this on a portable fog server connected straight to the laptop that needs to be imaged to eliminate any of these networking issues.

Gotta love crossover cables.

Issue has been fixed by Micheal Brown over at iPxe. The realtek driver will work for now until we can get the undionly issue sorted too.

Experiencing the exact same issue with the same device, can you point me to the solution at iPXE or detail what to change inside the fog configuration?

[Wayne Workman]

@SeqSupportEdkey please see @brianjones2007 's request.

Brian, you might want to head over to iPXE and look for a guy named Micheal Brown… Or you could further elaborate your problem here and we will do our best to assist. It may be something that we know the solution to… sometimes it works that way.
