[ipxe-devel] Docking USB-C Lenovo

Post by Ãlvaro Javier Gasco FernÃ¡ndez
Good Morning list!!
My name is Alvaro and this is the first time that i write to the list.
First of all i want to thanks to the team for this incredible work done in
this project.
Second one, i would like to explain a problema that i have with two of my
laptops. I have a lenovo T480s and a L480 with an USB-C Docking. When i
launch the network boot with the USB-C Docking connected and IPXE starts,
the process is frozen at Windows Logo.

Seems to me that payload is transferred and started.

IPXE recognizes the network and gives me an address but after that, no more
things happened.
Can you help me with that?? If you need more info, of course, i will give
you as soon as possible.

I think the boot process is stalled in Windows userland.
My guess is that it hangs on USB-C authorization check.

Geert Stappers

I don't known. For me is USB-C thunderbolt. To get wired ethernet at
thunderbolt docking system working, I had to authorize the devices.
I assume Windows has a same authorization scheme for
USB-C aka thunderbolt, hence my guess. So you need to debug MS Windows.

i guess.

Please note: there are two docking stations from Lenovo looking exactly the same. One has USB-C and one has Thunderbolt-3 which has the same plug as USB-C.
So in one case you see a PCI device, in the other a USB device.
