      Unfortunately the tablet shows the screen really fast and it goes away. It’s to quick even read it. Should I be able to boot this device with the SVN 2262 code?

        I have referenced this forum if it is of any use.

        [url]http://www.transformerforums.com/forum/asus-transformer-book-t100-general-discussions/40288-windows-8-1-32-bit-fresh-install-using-uefi-usb-drive.html[/url]

        I have been able to boot a usb drive with a 32bit boot.wim file from SCCM 2012 R2 but thats another story.

          it sounds to me like ipxe isn’t loading then, because if it was it wouldn’t just blip by. have you made sure that the dhcp server is set to serve out undionly.kpxe? can you download undionly.kpxe from another computer on the network?

              Secure boot is turned off in the bios. There is no legacy bios mode.

                you may need to set the boot file to ipxe.efi or snponly.efi to get that to work, if even that will work. i haven’t done anything with uefi booting yet, so i don’t think i can be much more help to you.

                    undionly.kpxe is in dhcp

                    On the tablet screen it shows the following
                    start pxe over ipv4
                    downloading NBP file
                    succeed to download NBP file.

                    then it just reboots

                      I’m in the exact same boat with the exact same devices, lol.

                      Currently using awful WDS to deploy…once we are finally able to boot to the FOG menu I’ll probably start screaming hysterically lol.

                        I have just tried every file in /tftpboot in the 067 dhcp optiuon bootfile name. THe device downloads the file, says successful but just reboots after that.

                          I should clarify, the farthest I’ve came is downloading the boot file successfully, then continues booting into Windows.

                            Try these if you haven’t already:

                            [url]http://sourceforge.net/p/freeghost/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/packages/tftp/[/url]

                            chmod 755 them once they’ve been moved into /tftpboot

                              I moved the WDS UEFI boot file to my FOG server, and I’m able to get a bit further, but it times out because it’s waiting for WDS commands from the FOG server which obviously don’t exist…

                                I changed the FOG_TFTP_PXE_KERNEL to bzImage32 ( looks like you need a 32bit boot even though you can use 64bit os)
                                and tried every file as the bootfilename in dhcp from /tftpboot.

                                It says in the log for SVN 2262 improvements to uefi boot. Wonder which developer worked with the IPXE team on this.

                                WHich kernel should I be using that supports EUFI ?

                                  Looking at [url]http://ipxe.org/download[/url]

                                  Does fog have the 32-bit driver for efi in /tftboot ?
                                  I have tried snp.efi and snponly.efi and ipxe.efi but I dont know if they are 64 or 36 bit.

                                  We are getting there!

                                  [SIZE=4][B]EFI[/B][/SIZE]

                                  iPXE supports the EFI and UEFI environments, as well as the standard PC BIOS. You can build an EFI driver ROM using the .efirom image format. For example:
                                  make bin-i386-efi/808610de.efirom # 32-bit driver ROM
                                  make bin-x86_64-efi/808610de.efirom # 64-bit driver ROM

                                      Well, I have gotten one step closer…kinda. I found a bootia32.efi file that successfully boots me into Grub 2.

                                      Here it is if anyone would like to experiment…
