Hello,

Please try to do the following:

1. Boot the target machine from Acronis PXE;

2. When Boot menu appears, hit F11 button;

3. You will see a dialog with edit box. Type video=vesa:off near the quiet parameter (all parameters should be separated with Spaces) and click OK button;

4. Then select a Acronis component you want from the Boot menu.

 

If the above parameter did not help, try to perform the step 1 and 2, and specify a parameter vga=<mode_number> (e.g. vga=0x318​). Please refer to the User Guide for more information.

If one of the kernel parameters resolved the issue, you can create a Bootable media with this parameter (see the Step 3). And then upload it to PXE.

 

Best regards.

There's no response on F11, the AcronisFxApp appear directly after downloading message.

By contrast, it works if we create boot media on USB support, we can see linux kernel and correct vga mode

Then you can do the following:

1. Open the file C:\ProgramData\Acronis\PXEServer\Bootmenu\bootwiz.cfg with the Notepad. You will see the following entries:

[C1]
VGA VESA
MBRCRCS ON /SKIPBOOT
INITRD F45A20D0E
KERNEL F2B1E0CA4 quiet
[continue]
SYSBOOT /MBR
[BOOTMGR]
QUIET ON
BOOTMENU ON

 

2.  Remove entire [continue] section:

[C1]
VGA VESA
MBRCRCS ON /SKIPBOOT
INITRD F45A20D0E
KERNEL F2B1E0CA4 quiet

3. Add vga=ask parameter:

[C1]
VGA VESA
MBRCRCS ON /SKIPBOOT
INITRD F45A20D0E
KERNEL F2B1E0CA4
vga=ask quiet

4. Save changes;

5. Boot a target machine from PXE;

6. Press Enter key to see video modes available;

7. Find a videomode, for example, 1024x768x32. Also, you will see a number of the videomode, e.g. 344

8. Enter the number and press Enter.

 

If loading does not start, try another videomode.

If loading starts, open the bootwiz.cfg again and change vga=ask parameter to vga=0xmode_number (e.g. vga=0x344) and save changes:

[C1]
VGA VESA
MBRCRCS ON /SKIPBOOT
INITRD F45A20D0E
KERNEL F2B1E0CA4
vga=0x344 quiet

 

If nothing helps, please contact our Support team.

Best regards.
