[iPXE 2.0.0 regression] PXE boot fails on Lenovo T480 and other laptops since 1.0.35 - matmus06 - 07-03-2026
Hello,
I have an issue with iVentoy since version 1.0.35 (which updated iPXE to 2.0.0).
Problem:
- PXE boot gets stuck during iPXE loading on several laptops.
- Works perfectly on version 1.0.34.
- Same issue on 1.0.35, 1.0.36 and 1.0.37.
- Lenovo ThinkPad T480 (and several other laptop models)
- UEFI mode (Secure Boot disabled)
- Different EFI boot files (snponly.efi, snp.efi, ipxe.efi)
- ProxyMode DHCP mode
- Secure Boot disabled
Only version 1.0.34 works reliably. Versions 1.0.35+ fail at the iPXE initialization stage.
Note: On 1.0.36 the .XML auto-install scripts also stopped working.
Could you please check the iPXE 2.0.0 integration for compatibility with Intel NICs on ThinkPad laptops?
Thank you!

1. Can you take a photo/screenshot about the client error information?
2. Yes, there is an issue about auto install in 1.0.36, it has been fixed in 1.0.37. refer: https://forums.ventoy.net/showthread.php?tid=3216
