11:16 < redacted> Hello
11:17 < redacted> i have a i have a problem
11:17 < redacted> we have a thinkbook 16 G7
11:18 < redacted> after a bios update it does not boot over ipxe
11:18 < redacted> version 1.20 it boots
11:18 < redacted> version 1.21 it does not
11:18 < redacted> how can i help you to fix this kind of problem ?
11:25 < redacted> stappers: mcb30 ^^
13:17 < stappers> send me a Thinkbook 16 G7, make me stakeholder
13:17 < stappers> (better response in the making)
13:51 < ErRandir> what network card does it have? Please share the
                  PCI ID (from lspci -n). Does it try to boot? 
                  How far does it get?
14:22 < redacted> stappers: hehe :-) if only i could :-)
</IRC-snippet>

And after the "if only i could :-)"  silence from  redacted,
not even an any sign of attempting to answer the good questions
from ErRandir.


But I promised a better response:

The "How can I help you to fix this kind of problem?"
can be answered with "make it rewarding".

And other good ingredient for "How can I help" is being involved.
Be present when others start showing interest in the challenge.
redacted: you should retry
