Lenovo E15 Gen2 won't PXE boot (bzImage)

All other clients do well with current ipxe.efi (fog 1.5.0).
You are still on FOG 1.5.0? Ok, then you can really try out the latest iPXE binaries manually and see if it works. Download
ipxe.efi
from https://github.com/FOGProject/fogproject/tree/1.5.9/packages/tftp, rename the original you have in/tftpboot/
on your FOG server and put the new one in place. See if the Lenovo E15 can get an IP with that. -
@sebastian-roth yes i am still on 1.5.0, i tried to update to the latest but update repository problems kicked my ass.

For anyone else coming across this thread, we had the same problem. The iPXE from the latest version of FOG (1.5.9) did not work, but building the latest iPXE binaries using the instructions on this post worked fine:

After that, the Linux kernel we were using also worked fine.

Hi @Nate-Baker can you share the kernel please?

What Nate is referring to is rebuilding ipxe and using those new ipxe boot code. The link he referred to tells you how to do this on your FOG server assuming you used the git method to install FOG.
Not really connected to ipxe, but make sure you are running 5.10.x version of FOS Linux kernels to have the latest hardware support.

@george1421 just a moment ago i successfully compiled my own ipxe.efi binary and it works fine https://forums.fogproject.org/post/141618

You need to disable the Intel VT-d Directed I/O setting and it will pxe boot. I couldn’t get Win10 to boot without disabling the Intel VMD controller as well. (Sorry for the necropost)

In the BIOS on the configuration tab, disable Intel VMD Controller and disable Secure Boot on the security tab. This is the only way i’ve gotten this to image.
