ipxe uefi load image fail error no such device - nevertry - 2015-07-16 09:45
Hi all,
I used ipxe.uefi on a uefi shell for network boot.
The dhcp and download image process is ok. But when i boot loaded image i get error:
" Image vmlinuz could not execute : No such device
Could not boot: no such device"
as my investigation, the reason is that my network device is not recognized as a EFI device. my network device is usb ethernet smsc7500.
many thanks for your help.

Most likely you need to use ecm.efi or one of the other specific builds that include support for USB network cards.
Also make sure that the name you want to boot matches what the output from "imgstat" says. Also make sure the image type is detected as EFI, not bzimage (which is not supported under UEFI).
