      @swhite OK, these devices are in bios (legacy) mode and you are sending the full ipxe driver file.

      It would be interesting to know what happens if you rename the ipxe.pxe file to something (as a test) and download the current ipxe.pxe file from this link from the trunk build: https://github.com/FOGProject/fogproject/tree/dev-branch/packages/tftp only download the ipxe.pxe file and be sure to save your original file. This iPXE kernel is the latest and greatest, where the iPXE kernel from FOG 1.2.0 stable is over 2 years old. Understand this is just a test, but if it works, there is no reason to move back.

      [edit] Just to be clear this is the iPXE boot kernel and not the actual FOG (FOS engine) kernel you can download from the sorceforge site.

      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!

        @george1421 For clarity this HP system has a Broadcom BCM 57788 network adapter and since these are in bios (legacy) mode and not uefi. I would start with the following iPXE boot kernels in this order, which is the most common first and for troubled computers then the ipxe.pxe.

        undionly.kpxe
        undionly.kkpxe
        ipxe.pxe

          I renamed my file to ipxe.pxe.old and added the new one from the link provided. When I attempted to boot the computer it hung in the same spot. Just with a little more info on the screen.

            @swhite Well nuts, we’ll have to get the devs involved then. They have a few debugging versions of the iPXE kernel that may give more insight in whats hanging.

            @Developers we may need your assistance on this one.

                        @swhite I would pull your email address out of this post just to keep the amount of spam down from web crawlers. Stick to DM messages.

                          Hi Tom,
                          I also have this problem.
                          When booting the pxe in uefi I get this error message: no configuration methods succeced https://ipxe.org/err/040ee1
                          I changed the ipxe.efi file to the latest one from ipxe.org (make bin-x86_64-efi/ipxe.efi )
                          but the boot remains frozen after initialization

                          thank you for answer

                            @AndyB. Just so we know this is related. You are seeing this on a HP Compaq Pro 4300 SFF PC as well? If not then please open a new topic and post all your details there.
