Lenovo 11e - Doesn't pass Menu screen on iPXE

[GFm]

I just wanted to report back. After updating to the latest dev and using the realtek.pxe bootfile, my lenovo 11e worked fine. I’m not sure whether or not the fog stable release combined with the realtek.pxe would have worked because I did not test that.

Thanks for all your help!! @Tom-Elliott @Wayne-Workman

@GFm where can I find the realtek.pxe bootfile you mentioned? We are having the same issue.

[GFm]

@Wendell321 I updated to the latest dev for FOG and then in your DHCP you need to change your scope option 67 from undionly.kpxe to realtek.pxe

[cml]

@Wendell321 It should already be on your server. /tftpboot/realtek.pxe

We have tried realtek.pxe with the latest dev and still getting a timeout.

@cml Hello, I’m on Fog 1.2.0, but don’t see the realtek.pxe file on my server. I’m having trouble with a Lenovo E440 and would like to try it. Is it available for downloading? Thank you!

[cml]

You could download it manually, I have never tested this though.

cd /tftpboot

Hello All,

I am running Ubuntu 12.04 with Fog 1.2.0. I am experiencing a similar issue when imaging the Lenovo 11e. Like the image in the original post I get to where it says “menu” and underneath of it I see "configuring (mac address)…

I am using undionly.kpxe for my other devices and it works, just not for the 11e. I have attempted to use undionly.kkpxe, and undionly.pxe but those do not make any difference. I have not tried the realtek.pxe because the link provided by @cml does not exist when opening the link. Is there another source from which i can get this from? I am also running the default kernel for the default install. I would like to note that I have no issues booting up the lenovo 11e into the fog menus to image when using my 0.32 Fog server (also running Ubuntu 12.04).

@Ahagel Source forge is down, but you should be able to get it from github.

wget https://github.com/FOGProject/fogproject/blob/dev-branch/packages/tftp/realtek.pxe

@cml There is something oddly different about the realtek.pxe. When double clicking it opens a web browser where the other files do not. Is this normal? It also shows “<!DOC” instead of the binary like the other files. Sorry if this is a dumb question.

[cml]

I forgot github redirects their files differently.

This should be the correct link: https://github.com/FOGProject/fogproject/raw/dev-branch/packages/tftp/realtek.pxe

[Ahagel]

Update: The realtek.pxe boot file works for my lenovo 11e. Thank you @cml for your help getting that!

I too have a Lenovo 11e and it is not successfully getting the boot menu with UEFI on.
Attempted the undionly.kkpxe also the realtek.pxe, same result.

…
Succeeded to download NBP file.

Curious if a solution was found? Did you need to replace your tftp/realtek.pxe?

[GFm]

@Pontiac-CCSD-429 realtek.pxe worked for me… I’m also on the latest SVN

@Pontiac-CCSD-429 Uefi needs the .efi files not the pxe labeled files.

[Pontiac CCSD 429]

Coming back to confirm that the 11e image completed both up and down using the .efi extension.
