 Re: PXE boot in FitPC3 So still after a half year almost with this FitPC3 - I'm still not able to use it for anything!
Since it should be using PXE boot - which was promised - but really lousy support and reply time!

Re: PXE boot in FitPC3 We are facing some technical problems with the PXE boot feature. We will try to release the BIOS update ASAP

Re: PXE boot in FitPC3 BTW: After testing iPXE and gPXE we have found only direct booting with a gpxe on usb stick with this embeded script gives stable results: Code: #!gpxe
dhcp any
set username xxx
set password yyy
sanboot iscsi:10.0.0.1:::1:iqn.2000-01.com.xy.ab:cde.fgh
Chainloading ipxe or scripts with gpxe does hang to often (randomly?). The iPXE (the successor of gpxe) does have trouble opening the NIC (e.g. does not send frames out). Any suggestions?

Re: PXE boot in FitPC3 Hi Guys,
Just flashed latest BIOS a FITPC3, BZ_2.1.0.333_9 X64 (5/1/2012) assume US dates so 1st May 2012.
Yes it gives me LAN Boot [Enabled]
Yes it shows up in Boot priority order "Onboard LAN"
but when ever I boot nothing happens, I get black screen for a few secs and then a Boot menu with 1 option to boot to HDD
any ideas ?

Re: PXE boot in FitPC3 Hi.
Please enter to BIOS Setup. Open the AMD->Platform Settings submenu and change the "LAN Boot" option from "Disabled" to "Enabled".

Re: PXE boot in FitPC3 Same here. LAN Boot es enabled and priority is set to Onboard LAN, after a few seconds HDD is booted.
Is there supposed to be any info on screen ? Sure would be nice.
Also tried it with UEFI enabled and Legacy disabled, which gives me the selection menu with just the HDD showing up in the boot options.
I hope this can be fixed soon.
Cheers,
Axel

Re: PXE boot in FitPC3 It looks like the PXE option should be enabled in the Realtek Lan Controller.
You should update the controller's firmware.
The package contains two files: pg8168.exe and 8168def.cfg
Copy these files to the USB Flash Drive that was prepared for BIOS updating.
Boot to the DOS and type the following command:
pg8168 /efuse /manchg
The "PG EFuse is Successful!!!" message should appear.
Perform "cold reboot" at the end of the process.
Please, don't hesitate to contact me if you need more information about the process that is described above.

Re: PXE boot in FitPC3 Hello,
When can you release PXE bootable BIOS?
