Latest run, PXE boot ensues and seems to complete, however when it comes up, it doesn't detect any boot disks at all. i.e "No Boot device available" I use F11 (BIOS boot manager) to explicitly select a boot device and it offers me "Hard drive C:" , i.e Integrated PERC RAID H310 , but after that the iDrac console just goes unresponsive. > > Why are you trying to boot efi? I just barely have it working under centos I was toggling between trying to get legacy BIOS to boot and EUFI.
