  @danuel Yes FOG can be installed on a Pi and also deploy images to ARM64 based machines.

  About testing: You might take a look at this topic and test those kernels: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/16508/enable-or-disable-speculation_mitigations-in-the-linux-kernel

  Debian 11.3 Server

  First we’ll create the required directories: mkdir -p /images/os/debian/Server11.3 mkdir -p /tftpboot/os/debian/Server11.3 Now we’ll mount the Debian Server 11.3 installer over the loop directory. Then we’ll copy the contents of the DVD to the directory we built above. mount -o loop -t iso9660 /{full path where you have the iso stored}/debian-11.3.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso /mnt/loop cp -R /mnt/loop/* /images/os/debian/Server11.3 umount /mnt/loop Finally we’ll copy the pxe boot kernel and intfs to the tftpboot directory. We’ll need to download the netboot version from here: https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/bullseye/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz This version of bzlinuz.efi and initrd.lz support booting over an NFS share instead of the local DVD Drive. wget https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/bullseye/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz tar -zxf netboot.tar.gz cp ./debian-installer/amd64/linux /tftpboot/os/debian/Server11.3 cp ./debian-installer/amd64/initrd.gz /tftpboot/os/debian/Server11.3 The last bit of magic we need to do is setup a new FOG iPXE boot menu entry for this OS. In the fog WebGUI go to FOG Configuration->iPXE New Menu Entry
  Set the following fields
  Menu Item: os.Debian.Server.11.3
  Description: Debian Server 11.3
  Parameters:
  kernel tftp://${fog-ip}/os/debian/Server11.3/linux
  initrd tftp://${fog-ip}/os/debian/Server11.3/initrd.gz
  imgargs linux initrd=initrd.gz root=/dev/nfs boot=casper netboot=nfs nfsroot=${fog-ip}:/images/os/debian/Server11.3/ locale=en_US.UTF-8 keyboard-configuration/layoutcode=us quiet splash ip=dhcp rw
  boot || goto MENU
  Menu Show with: All Hosts That’s it, just pxe boot your target system and pick Debian Server 11.3 from the FOG iPXE boot menu.

  @george1421 said in Removing MACs from multicast task without starting over:

  In the php code to add the parameter to the settings and then have the php code pass that kernel parameter on the multicast startup. That part is above my skill set it seams.

  I will look into that. Though as I said I will use the parameter we already have and pass it to the kernel instead of adding a new setting parameter.

  Thanks you for checking out the FOS part.

  Of course - the more variety the better the test results will be. I will slowly start to deploy my kernels and inits in other computer labs at school, where there is also diversity in computers and configurations, so I will know from the lab supervisors if something on their hardware does not work.

  Funny thing, because there are still some issues with each lab having a different hardware configuration, but at least now it’s useful for FOG testing.
