    @Tom-Elliott Thanks Tom. 1.5.10.2344 seems to be capturing fine. No additional null tasks were created and the PC had no problem checking in and starting the capture.

    I’d swear, not only with this version but the earlier ones that were malfunctioning during check in and creating additional tasks, I had to create the task twice. Like I went through the process of setting up a capture but nothing showed up under tasks then had to do it again.

    I can’t seem to duplicate it though. Setting up a 2nd capture for the laptop, I only had to do it once (and no additional null tasks were created).

    PC finished the capture no problem and laptop checked in and is capturing now. Looks like 2344 did it!

    Thanks again.

    Thanks so much for your help with this. Happy to feed back any info I can so please do let me know if there’s anything else you need me to test. Will be on annual leave for a couple of weeks after this and have no access to the systems but I think this confirms your suspicion. Please see results below from a Dell OptiPlex 3070:

    Addresses on this machine:

    NIC: 01:00.0 (Realtek RTL8168h)
    Root port: 00:1c.0

    UEFI mode:

    setpci -s 01:00.0 CAP_EXP+10.w = 0142 (last digit 2 = L1 enabled)
    setpci -s 00:1c.0 CAP_EXP+10.w = 0c42 (last digit 2 = L1 enabled)

    Legacy/CSM mode:

    setpci -s 01:00.0 CAP_EXP+10.w = 0040 (last digit 0 = ASPM off)
    setpci -s 00:1c.0 CAP_EXP+10.w = 0c40 (last digit 0 = ASPM off)

    Dell’s UEFI firmware enables L1 on both the NIC and root port. The Legacy/CSM path leaves both off. The only difference between the two readings is those two ASPM bits. Everything else in the register is identical.

    Thanks for the nudge to run these. Anything else needs testing please do let me know. We love using FOG and it’s invaluable in our set of schools that we work in at least so please do keep up the great work!

    Hi, I noticed that this was unresolved after so long. Wonder if you have solved it?
    I recently stumbled across the man page for dhcpcd.conf. In there is a denyinterfaces (pattern) should solve the issue for you. It tells dhcpd to ignore the nic interfaces listed in pattern. Just was wondering if you found the fix otherwise hope this helps.

    Hello everyone,

    As I work at a secondary school, I was able to get hold of some Catalina iMacs (iMac 14.3).
    I already use FOG to deploy Windows and Linux images on PCs.

    I would like to deploy a LinuxMint image on these iMacs.

    However, I am unable to boot into PXE on them with FOG, and I do not know what is wrong.

    I modified my DHCP server as follows:

    ## FOG class "UEFI-32-1" { match if substring(option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 20) = "PXEClient:Arch:00006"; filename "i386-efi/ipxe.efi"; } class "UEFI-32-2" { match if substring(option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 20) = "PXEClient:Arch:00002"; filename "i386-efi/ipxe.efi"; } class "UEFI-64-1" { match if substring(option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 20) = "PXEClient:Arch:00007"; filename "ipxe.efi"; } class "UEFI-64-2" { match if substring(option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 20) = "PXEClient:Arch:00008"; filename "ipxe.efi"; } class "UEFI-64-3" { match if substring(option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 20) = "PXEClient:Arch:00009"; filename "ipxe.efi"; } class "Apple-Intel-Netboot" { match if substring (option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 14) = "AAPLBSDPC/i386"; option dhcp-parameter-request-list 1,3,17,43,60; if (option dhcp-message-type = 8) { option vendor-class-identifier "AAPLBSDPC"; if (substring(option vendor-encapsulated-options, 0, 3) = 01:01:01) { # BSDP List option vendor-encapsulated-options 01:01:01:04:02:80:00:07:04:81:00:05:2a:09:0D:81:00:05:2a:08:69:50:58:45:2d:46:4f:47; } elsif (substring(option vendor-encapsulated-options, 0, 3) = 01:01:02) { #BSDP Select option vendor-encapsulated-options 01:01:02:08:04:81:00:05:2a:82:0a:4e:65:74:42:6f:6f:74:30:30:31; # filename "i386-efi/ipxe.efi"; filename "snp.efi"; } } } class "Legacy" { match if substring(option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 20) = "PXEClient:Arch:00000"; filename "undionly.kkpxe"; } ### END FOG

    I tested ipxe.efi in 64-bit and 32-bit, as well as snp.efi, but it still doesn’t work. I get some kind of spinning planet when I try to boot.

    I admit I don’t fully understand the documentation page: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/FOG_on_a_MAC

    Thanks in advance!

    I’ve updated my FOG to the stable release and also updated my script with the following three lines, and everything’s fine – the database has been backed up successfully, it’s perfect!

    fogApiToken="XYZ=" fogUsrToken="ZYF" curl -ik -X GET "http://$fogServerAddress/fog/system/export" -H "fog-api-token: $fogApiToken" -H "fog-user-token: $fogUsrToken" -o $backupDir/mysql/fog.sql 2>>$backupDir/logs/error.log 1>>$backupDir/logs/progress.log 2>&1

    Thanks again for all your hard work on the FOG project!
