UEFI booting with Yoga 370
-
@george1421 I tried out your guide and got the yoga to boot fog from the usb stick under efi but the result is still the same once it loads the actual task (the pxe menu itself works fine). Any futher steps i can take to enable more debugging ?

@Brian-Hoehn It would be interesting to know if usb booting directly info FOS gives you the same issue as ipxe -> fos. There is a guide here on how to build a usb boot drive to boot into FOS via grub. https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/7727/building-usb-booting-fos-image

@Iceman344 While I would like to get FOG to boot in EFI. I did get it to boot in legacy mode and image without an issue and then push down an EFI image. I was using the USB 3.0 adapter for this. I also just got the ethernet extension adapter but I haven’t had time to test it yet. I would think this should work better as it will use the on board Intel LM-219 network adapter.

ipxe.efi
Freeze after init.xz…ok@Tom-Elliott Do we still have early_printk enabled in the kernel? Maybe this is something we can figure out by setting kernel log level up high and enabling early_printk?!

We recently purchased a batch of Yoga 370’s and have been working on figuring out why they don’t play nice with fog for a few days. These are the findings i’ve had so far.
note: we are trying to use the thunderbolt dock as Ethernet adapter.
First off to get it to boot on the network adapter i disabled all Secure Boot functionality and Thunderbolt security features
Following this i boot the device off the dock with IPV4.As of writing these things happen when booting through the 7156 list:
-
intel7156.efi
DHCP Failed -
ipxe7156.efi
Freeze after init.xz…ok -
realtek7156.efi
DHCP Failed -
snp7156.efi
DHCP Failed -
snponly7156.efi
eth0 UP Failed -
ipxe.efi
Freeze after init.xz…ok
-
-
No change using the ipxe7156.efi file.

This isn’t a kernel problem but a bootfile one. Can you try the bootfile labeled ipxe7156.efi to see if it might help
