@george1421 Today’s findings:

autoexec.ipxe is getting loaded by some default somewhere (not because of my dnsmasq entry) and it’s completely ignored. None of its contents get run. I confirmed the correct autoexec.ipxe file is actually being loaded by renaming it, attempting a boot, and observing a ‘file not found’ error message. I pulled bzImage and init.xz directly from the latest release and N-1 https://github.com/FOGProject/fos/releases to ensure compatibility. No change. This server’s NIC does not support the native iPXE drivers. Only snponly.efi works.

No joy 😞

@djgalloway Thank you. Actually this thread helps advance the project too. The devs won’t add this driver to the main kernel but if they need to create a one off kernel the instructions are here.

@Quazz Thanks, done: https://github.com/FOGProject/fos/issues/31
