Hello,
WAPT Enterprise version: 2.3.0.13516
Server OS: Debian
Administration machine OS: Windows 10
We are currently experiencing an issue with OS deployment: we are failing the "iPXE initializing devices" step for certain machine models, specifically HP EliteBook 840 G10s, while it works for HP EliteBook 840 G8s.
Secure Boot is disabled in the BIOS, and we have updated it. Have you encountered this problem before?
Best regards,
[SOLVED] Stuck on "iPXE initialising devices..."

Could you try installing this package on your WAPT server:
https://wapt.tranquil.it/store/fr/tis-compile-ipxe
The package places an ipxe_github.efi and undionly_github.kpxe file on the WAPT server in the /var/www/wads/pxe directory.
The package on the store updates automatically with each new commit of the IPXE project.
Perhaps a more recent version of the IPXE project would work better for you.
Note that in your DHCP configuration, you will need to replace ipxe.efi with ipxe_github.efi.

No need to install the agent, just configure it:

Could you try regenerating an initial configuration?
When generating a new configuration, I didn't get an error message.
However, it still doesn't work.
I do get the following: NBP filename is ipxe_github.efi
NBP filename is 131680 Bytes
Downloading NBP file...
NBP file downloaded successfully.
And we're still stuck on the iPXE initializing devices...
It still works with older machines.
Best regards,

Unless I'm mistaken, the HP EliteBook 840 G10 doesn't have a network card?
Are you using a dongle?
