FOG boot issue after BIOS update on HP ZBook Fury 16 G11 – iPXE autoexec.ipxe not found

[CanadienITGuy]

Hi, I hope you’re doing well.

Since the latest BIOS update on the HP ZBook Fury 16 G11 Mobile Workstation PC (BIOS version W98 Ver. 01.03.00), the system is no longer able to boot into the FOG PXE environment for image deployment.

When attempting to boot from the network, the process fails with the following error message:
“autoexec.ipxe… Not found (https://ipxe.org/2d12618e)”

This issue occurs only on this model when running the most recent BIOS version.
The same hardware model with an older BIOS version boots into FOG correctly, and image deployment works as expected.

Thank you !

Hi, to get more details, we run fog version 1.5.10.1733 and the kernel version 6.12.35.

Should we try the experimental kernel version 6.12.35 from 21 december?

For this post, admin can move it to hardware compatibility if you want.

@CanadienITGuy @gchartrandCRL I had to switch from using ipxe.efi to snp.efi for all my newer HP machines. Please try changing that in your DHCP scope options.

@rodluz Good it’s working. Can we left this option like that and all the previous machine will works too of we need to switch this option just for new HP and came back up ipxe.efi after that?

@gchartrandCRL I’m glad that worked! You should be able to keep using snp.efi with your previous machines.
