Unable to boot to pxe for Intel NUC DN2820FYKH

[ccy]

Hi,

I have a unit of Intel NUC DN2820FYKH. When I try to network boot to pxe, it hangs on "iPXE initialising Devices...". My iPXE and TFTP service is working fine in my network as I have a number of devices may boot into it.

I have tried compile ipxe.pxe from latest git commit but problem remain the same.

Is there anything I miss or iPXE is not ready for Intel NUC yet?

Your iPXE rom can't initialize network device on InterNUC.
Try followings.

1. Boot NUC with Linux LiveCD (Ubuntu will be fine)
2. Open terminal and type "lspci". Find out Ethernet controller and device ID.
(in my case, 03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8169 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 10))
3. Type "lspci -ns 03:00.0" and you can see VID:PID.
(in my case, 10ec:8169 (rev 10))
4. Try to build iPXE rom with this VID/PID as below.
make bin/10ec8168.kpxe (pxe/kpxe/kkpxe whaterver you need)

Hope this helps.

I had the same problem until I changed one of the BIOS setting to "Windows 7" instead of "Windows 8" (which was the default).

I have 15+ of these booting into iPXE every day.
