I have a new Dell Optiplex 7060 which is giving me an inacessable boot device and crashing on boot. Nothing I do seems to get the image restore working. Here is what I did so far....
I've created this image (golden image or clone) on the same hardware (not that it matters w/ sysprep). I then sysprep the machine and shut it down. Next I take an image of this machine to clone on the other machines.
Next on the new desktop to be cloned, I go into UEFI and change to UEFI mode with secureboot OFF and storage to AHCI. Then I reboot into Clonezilla and restore the disk image to the new machine. It restores fine but when I reboot I get: Inaccessible Boot Device" and the machine crashes. This image has worked on dozens of prior Dell Optiplex 7060's.
mm... The issue was the efibootmgr sent the long command which overflows Dell uEFI BIOS firmware. We have fixed that. However, it seems still some issue remains...

Anyone have any ideas why I'm getting this 'inaccessable boot device error?'
TIA
Maybe this is the same issue?
