      we have just taken delivery of 50 of these units for our school and i can’t get them to Network boot. they have Intel i226-v Nics in them & Intel® Core™ Ultra 5 125H (all very nice)

      if i use a USB Stick with D:\EFI\BOOT\bootx64.efi (ipxe.efi from tftp folder) then i can get them to register and image

      I am now on Fog version 1.5.10.1650 thinking i might have just needed a newer set of boot files but what i did notice was that on pressing F12 the boot menu says UEFI: HTTP IPv4 Intel ® Ethernet Controller I226-V
      and when you boot it says: >>Start HTTP Boot over IPv4 on MAC: MACADDRESS and it just hangs here and doesn’t start iPXE

      is PXE booting and HTTP Boot over IP two different things? and is this somehting i can get working

        In the first section that is good, that you can get it to image with booting from a usb drive. That means ipxe and bzImage (FOS) supports that hardware.

        On the second part, yes http booting and pxe booting are two different methods. Of course http booting uses tcp over the http protocol, and pxe booting uses udp over the tftp protocol.

        I don’t know how you can tell the computer what ip address and boot file to boot from. But if you copied ipxe.efi to /var/www/html/fog directory you can (should) be able to download ipxe.efi over the http protocol.

        But that said those devices should be able to pxe boot. That feature will typically need to be enabled in the network configuration section of the firmware (I don’t know these computers, so I can only speak generally). The intel nics have the pxe booting firmware built in, so it should work.

        Does it even look like its attempting to pxe boot and then failing over to booting over http? Does the F12 menu say anything about pxe booting (it may need to be enabled in the firmware before its displayed on the boot menu)

        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!

          your right they do support PXE boot i found the option right at the bottom in the bios you can choose between PXE HTTP and iSCSI
          i didn’t do enough scrolling down last time i looked.
