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

[Barbara Howard]

@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
https://svn.code.sf.net/p/freeghost/code/trunk/packages/tftp/realtek.pxe

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

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?

@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.

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