        @dureal99d I would say this line is important

        dnsmasq-dhcp[1283]: 1735601825 tags: BC_UEFI, r503u, enp8s0

        This tells me that you have the match mac address right because there is the r503u tag. To prove it change the mac address slightly and than pxe boot again. That tag should disappear. (Don’t forget to change it back because this part IS working)

        So the dhcp-boot section is failing to match for us. This is just me guessing but change

        #this line
dhcp-boot=net:r503u,intel7156.efi,,192.68.1.109

#to this
dhcp-boot=tag:r503u,intel7156.efi,,192.68.1.109

        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!

                @dureal99d I think I can explain this (understand I’m still learning dnsmasq’s insides too.).

                dhcp-mac=set:r503u,50:46:5d:98:6f:3c

dhcp-boot=net:IA32_UEFI,i386-efi/ipxe.efi,,192.168.1.109
dhcp-boot=net:BC_UEFI,ipxe.efi,,192.168.1.109
dhcp-boot=net:X86-64_EFI,ipxe.efi,,192.168.1.109
dhcp-boot=tag:r503u,intel7156.efi,,192.68.1.109

                We had a discussion when we were setting up the initial test. if you look at the tag:r503u line. What is matching there?? Look its the mac address so the only condition you have is that the mac address has to be X. So every time dnsmasq see mac address X it will send out intel7156.efi.

                Now why in efi mode?? This one has me a bit stumped. Logic would say first match wins, in that case this line would be the first match.

                dhcp-boot=net:BC_UEFI,ipxe.efi,,192.168.1.109

                So that would explain why ipxe.efi is being sent because the only test here is it be in efi mode.
                But in my testing I was seeing that the last match was winning. So if that thought is true. This one should be the winning line.

                dhcp-boot=tag:r503u,intel7156.efi,,192.68.1.109

                  @george1421 said in Serve different types of .efi boot files:

                  dhcp-boot=tag:r503u,intel7156.efi,192.68.1.109

                  You might want to update that line to something like this

                  dhcp-boot=tag:BC_UEFI,tag:r503u,intel7156.efi,,192.68.1.109

                  That will create an AND condition. So it has to be in uefi mode AND the mac address has to match.

                      @dureal99d change up the order put the

                      dhcp-boot=tag:BC_UEFI,tag:r503u,intel7156.efi,,192.68.1.109

                      before the one with ipxe.efi. (just guessing)
