Hello,
I have successfully booted the Windows 10 and Ubuntu 16.04 installer on different model of PC. Newer laptops often lack of network adapter built-in but I found that USB adapter were working great.
I received two Lenovo ThinkPad 13 G2 laptop. I can't boot the Windows or Ubuntu installer on theses laptops with IPXE and USB network adapter.
IPXE boot and display the boot menu. I select the item I want to boot. I see that the boot image is being downloader and then nothing. The windows installer stay stalled on the Windows logo and the Ubuntu installer just do nothing.
I built IPXE from source and I use this binary on my TFTP server: ./src/bin-x86_64-efi/ipxe.efi. The computer is configured to boot with EFI and Secure boot is disabled.
This is an extract of my menu.ipxe configuration:
I'm running the latest version available of IPXE on the git repository (commit b5e0b5). I had a previous version before and was not working too.
Any idea what's wrong?
Thanks!
