Lenovo 300e ipxe boots ok but ipxe.efi can't resolve the system
-
I increased the kernel log level to 7 and updated FOG to 1.5.7 that in turn updated the kernel to 4.19.48 and received no further output or change. I even disabled the Intel Platform Trust Technology in the BIOS but still no difference.

@mjaskowski Increase the kernel log level (FOG Configuration -> FOG Settings -> FOG Boot Settings -> KERNEL LOGLEVEL) all the way up to 7 and boot the host machine to see if you get any further output from the kernel.

Okay. BIOS updated from 6HCN23WW to 6HCN24WW (current) but it made no difference. Next steps?
-
@mjaskowski Ok the first step is to make sure the lenovo’s bios is up to date. This isn’t the first time we’ve seen this issue with lenovo systems. Sometimes a firmware update resolves the issue other times we’ve had to resort to booting FOS Linux from a usb flash drive. Either way we should be able to get you going with imaging.

We are using FOG Version 1.5.6

Yes, right after choosing Quick Registration and Inventory I see bzImage… 100% ok and next init.xz… 100% ok the screen goes black and nothing more happens and it never appears in All Hosts.

What version of FOG are you using?
So are you saying that iPXE menu displays and you can pick registration. From there you see iPXE transfer bzImage and init.xz but then the system just sits forever? Do I understand that right?
