@sebastian-roth Hi,
I have tried but it does not resolve the issue.
So since I successfully imaged with 4.15.2, I have also tested the following successfully: 4.16.6, 4.17.0, 4.18.3.
And I will continue to try to identify the most recent version which works with this Lenovo model.
Thanks again.
David.
@george1421 Hi George,
This computer does not offer Legacy BIOS, only UEFI. It does not work with undionly.kpxe
There was a typo in my previous message, I actually use realtek.efi not realtek.pxe
Thank you.
David.
@sebastian-roth Hi Sebastian,
I tried 4.18.20.64 again, and I got normal speed this time.
4.18.17.64 and 4.18.19.64 worked just fine as well (normal speed).
4.19.64 did not work as you expected.
Thanks again!
David.
@sebastian-roth Hi Sebastian,
I tried all three. I did not see any difference, no better no worse, imaging works, normal speed, except for the last one (4.18.20.64) which was slow.
Thank you.
David.
@george1421 Hi George,
Yes it works with ipxe.efi but with a message which I do not have with realtek.efi, see screenshot:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1eupCfc1Z5FROhi45pLlSWJsOk-AdtHt_/view?usp=sharing
The 2nd line on the screenshot starting with r8169 does not appear with realtek.efi
It is why I thought it was better to use realtek.efi
However it does not change anything when it comes to the kernel versions: same results as with realtek.efi, i.e. working up to 4.18.11, and not working after that.
NB: the first line with the error message starting with “db_root: cannot open: /etc/target” appears with both realtek.efi and ipxe.efi
Thanks
David.

@sebastian-roth Hi Sebastian,
Let me recap my findings:
NB: I am using realtek.pxe
Thanks.
David.
@sebastian-roth I think 4.16.6 was also slow, but the following were back to usual rate. 4.19.1 and 4.19.6 do not seem to work.

@george1421 Hi,
This Lenovo is brand new.
M70a Desktop (ThinkCentre) - Type 11CK
Machine Type Model: 11CKS03900
For now, I will try testing my way up the different kernel versions and see what is the most recent kernel version that works with this model and hard code that one into the host definition as you suggest.
Thank you again so much for your help.
David.
@george1421 Hi George,
I have added pcie_aspm=off to the kernel args field but it did not change anything.
However I could not find 4.15.3 but I found 4.15.2 and tried with this one, and it worked! It was going at a slower rate but it went all the way and the imaging completed successfully!
David.
