Yes it does, I tried some commands but I’m not really familiar withe the ipxe environment.

@george1421

The “working” Imacs are from late 2014 while the “not working” ones are from late 2015.

I’m already plugged on a non manageable switch, that’s what I was trying to tell you in my last reply.
Yes I checked the firmware for the IMac and it is up to date.

As for the guessing, I checked this post and checked the cable integrity just in case but to no avail so far…

Hi,
Yes the mac address of the device is correct.
I don’t think it could be a spanning tree since
a - I a m plugged on a switch port with no spanning tree
b - other iMacs(21.5") on the same port have no problem getting through this step
c - I think using the efi file with the 10sec delay would have worked if this was the case (not sure though)

Once again, I could be wrong but spanning tree issues don’t seem logical to me in this case.

Thanks anyhow.

Hi, we just tried with all snponly files and each time got

Configuring (net0 38:c9:86:12:xx:xx)..............No configuration method succeeded (http://ipxe.org/040ee186)

as a response.

Hi!

We’ve tried using the ipxe.pxe file from /tftpboot/10secdelay/ folder and this error :

Could not open net1: Input/Output error (http://ipxe/org/1d6a4698)

It then restarts the device initialisation and tres net 0 which appears down.

Could it be that the driver for the card is missing from the pxe file?

@Tom-Elliott @george1421
we tried to use ipxe7156.efi, it did load but the error is still here.

the only difference is the response for the other interface which is now

Could not open net0 Input/Output error (http://ipxe.org/1d6a4698)

But the error on the ethernet interface is the same.

@Tom-Elliott
Thanks, I’ll try and give it a try today (it’s morning here).
I’ll keep you informed with the results.

@george1421

Hi! Net0 is the wireless interface.
It does try to connect net0 but won’t get any further than that which is totally normal.

@Tom-Elliott Sure. Sorry I didn’t mention it from the beginning :
Running Version 1.3.1-RC-5

Hi,

we have a couple of 27" iMacs from late 2015. We’d like to run some tests with Fog in order to image them later on but so far, they can’t seem to get through ipxe.
while booting on the ipxe option it gets to the

"IPXE initialising devices...ok"

then

"Waiting for link-up on net1... failed: Down (http://ipxe.org/38086101)"

I can the press “s” to get to the ipxe command line but I don’t know what to do from there …

The dhcp is edited according to this post and it works fine with late 2014 21.5" iMacs

According to the ipxe website : “This error indicates that the network link is down”, however the host is correctly added to the dhcp (it gets an IP once an OS is started).

Any help is appreciated at this point, as I have no clue on what to do next…

Thanks a lot.
