    Hello!
    I’m trying to capture a Windows 11 base image from an XCP-ng VM. The VM will boot to the FOG menu, and I can select the desired option (Full host registration), but after loading bzImage and init.xz, the VM hangs on

    EFI stub: Loaded initrd from LINUX_EFI_INITRD_MEDIA_GUID device path EFI stub: Measured initrd data into PCR 9

    I’ve tried a list of different kernel versions:

    5.15.93 5.15.98 6.1.22 6.1.89 6.6.49 6.6.69 6.12.25 6.12.35 The experimental kernel listed here: https://github.com/FOGProject/fos/issues/108

    None have allowed the VM to get any further. What else should I be trying?

    Other devices are able to image successfully. We deploy laptops to staff and students, and all are imaging as expected.

    System info:
    FOG server is running AlmaLinux 9.5, in a VM that was migrated from ESXi to XCP-ng.
    FOG version is 1.5.10.15
    XCP-ng hosts are Dell PowerEdge R630. 2x Intel Xeon E5-2660v3, 128GB RAM
    Windows 11 VM has 2 CPUs, 4GB RAM, 64GB disk

    Thanks for your time!

    @youzersef Ok, see how long it takes me to get back on a project…lol

    I did some more looking, and found yes, the GUI will re-write the dhcp config file. However I did some more reading and I guess services.inc determines what is written by the GUI.

    Sorry, not a CLI guy, and I love the quick and easy edits, viewing issues that the GUI provides. Like Fog ! However my servers are headless…lol

    Anyway, looking that route now, and will update if I find how Negate wants services edited so when it reboots, DHCP will remain.

    Determined 🙂

    Any thank you everyone here . This place has always been great for information !
