From what I see in the picture, you’re booting using UEFI. (As indicated by “Succeeded to download NBP file.”

Can you get output of:

http://192.168.68.13/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=macofhosttryingtoboot

(Please replace macofhosttryingtoboot with the mac address of the host that’s trying to boot.

@abos_systemax said in Lenovo Yoga 11e:

Under Storage Management -> All Storage Nodes, can you edit the Image and FTP Path’s so they read only: ‘/images’ instead of ‘//images’

[abos_systemax]

@Tom-Elliott

If I remove the preceding slash before Image Path, the //Images gets changed to /Images; however: It would seem that the WebRoom, FTP Path, SnapinPath and SSL Path are all wrong as well?

two things here, I’m not seeing the inits (virtual hard drive). I don’t pay attention to the pxe booting process anymore so that download may be hidden now.

second, we have seen some pretty flaky uefi firmware on the yogas. Please make sure you have the latest firmware for that device.

From the error message the process is never leaving the iPXE kernel so the FOS Engine isn’t to the point to start just yet.

@george1421
I cannot remember seeing anything different than now; you are right that it doesn’t get to FOS; if I load the bzImage by hand, it’ll crash with the same error. This means that it doesn’t even reach the imgfetch init.xz at all

I found threads in the forums from about a year ago concerning the same device:

I found that in the first link, a community member posted the below which is quite interesting.

@thomasdec said in FOG menu don't boot Windows - Chainloading failed:

I found why the .efi file doesn’t work !
The problem come from an boot option.
I disable Security Chip in Security tab in Lenovo BIOS and now it’s work.
I can access FOG menu and image my computer.
Sorry for not finding it sooner !

@Sebastian-Roth @george1421 thanks again so much for your help !

@Wayne-Workman

Thanx for pointing this out !!!
The same occurs here, when i disable the security-chip fog boots normaly.

[Wayne Workman]

@Dave-Misco So your issue is resolved?
