Hello All,

First of all i like to thank all the people involved in the iPXE project. It's great!

I hope someone can help with this issue i have:

I have compiled an x86_64 snp.efi file. This works well and our Dell Venue Pro 11 7130 x64 tablets are able to boot this. As soon as iPXE is loaded it starts to load files through http, this works also. However, i am loading a 64-bit WinPe which is about 370 MB. The transfer is about 1MB's a second and therefore it takes a while to complete. This transfer is slow, but there's something else. After 5 minutes the machine suddenly reboots.

After some searching i think this is the watchdog timer.

Is there a way to figure out why this transfer is so slow? or can i disable the watchdogtimer?
I have tried to boot a different tablet which uses x86 UEFI, this one uses a smaller x86 WinPE and does not reboot unexpectedly.

If you need additional info, please let me know.

Thank you.

p.s. i am not a programmer.
