Optiplex 3000 PXE boot - "No bootable devices found"
Hello,
We recently purchased 25 Optiplex 3000 for one of our computer labs. We wanted to use PXE boot to deploy images from our Fog server to the lab computers. PXE over IPv4 was able to get IP from dhcp server, locate NBP file, and download it successfully. Then it gave "No bootable devices found" error.
The hard drive is HYNIX PCIe 512GB PCIe NVMe SSD. I also tried Western Digital Red SA500 SATA SSD with no differences.
In BIOS, we disabled Secure boot, updated BIOS to the latest 1.9.0, changed SATA option from RAID on to AHCI/NVMe, Enabled UEFI network stack, disabled wlan, bluetooth, http boot, still got same 'No bootable devices found'.
We then tried Clonezilla and it worked. Right now, we are using Clonezilla to manually image these computers but I would really prefer PXE to use images on our fog server.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Did you get this work? I tried pxe boot with ipxe (https://ipxe.org/start) and it loads undionly.kpxe from my server and then fails. Just upgraded the latest bios etc.

Case closed, I got it working when changed from undionly.kpxe to ipxe.efi.
I don't know what I was thinking when trying to start with oldskool ipxe. This optiplex 3000 can't do anything(?) with legacy ipxe stuff.

Having the same issue in AHCI/NVME mode on Optiplex 3000's. Trying to image and the Intel RST driver works in MDT when in RAID mode. However, NVME drive is not found in AHCI/NVME mode. Not looking to use Intel RST. Looking for a response soon Dell Support.
