Hello !
On my desktop (which has 2 network interfaces, 1 intel and 1 atheros), I remain stuck on "ipxe initialising devices" on either of the network interfaces.
I don't have this problem on other computers or on virtual machines.
I tried at least 4 versions of ipxe but still the same problem.
Can you help me?
Thanks!
It is hard to help you without more information.

Please always include which iPXE binary you are using. (for example ipxe.efi, undionly.kpxe etc)

Also include pciids for the devices.
I use ipxe.efi.
Where do I find the "pciids"?
Thanks!
pciids are preferably found by using lspci -nn in linux

you could try snp.efi and see if it makes any difference, but you will probably have to dig into building ipxe.efi with some DEBUG= flags enabled to figure out why it hangs, not sure what at the moment since we don't know exactly which drivers are involved.
Why do you need the DEBUG= flags enabled for this btw, NiKiZe?

With DEBUG flags, there will be more logs.
I was able to recover the pci :

But I do not know what to do with it ...

For the debug flags, can you describe in detail how to proceed?

Thanks !
Cutting that down ...

Now we can check which drivers that relates to in iPXE, and from that decide suggested DEBUG flags, I don't have the time to dig into that right now tho, sorry, will try to get back to you ASAP
OK, thanks. I am waiting for your return. In the meantime, has anyone ever encountered this problem and may be able to help me?
Hello
could you study my driver problem?
Thanks!
Hello,
I solved my problem. I updated my bios with an earlier version and it works well now on the 2 network cards
