@pkt said in Lenovo X1 Tablet hang on init.xz.... OK:

DHCP 067 Bootfile Name: ipxe.efi
Yes, secure boot is off in the BIOS on the tablet.

See here is where we keep seeing a conflict. You are saying BIOS and ipxe.efi in the same context.

The issue is the target computers need the proper ipxe kernel for the firmware mode.

For BIOS (legacy) configured systems you must use undionly.kpxe class images.

For UEFI configured systems you must use ipxe.efi class images.

To me it is not clear why at this stage (after we booted from the undionly.kpxe and therefore already found our desired boot server) one does not simply hard-code the IP of the FOG server here during installation?

The iPXE binaries are not being compiled on installation time but provided as binary. Therefore we can’t just hard-code the FOG server IP.
