    @Tom-Elliott to note, this has been happening on all our Lenovo L14s laptops (with no LAN ports), tested with 3 different Lenovo USB-C LAN Adaptors

    When booting back up, it brings the Blue screen error:

    ‘Recovery
    Your PC couldn’t start properly
    After multiple tries, the operating system on your PC failed to start, so it needs to be repaired.
    Error code: 0xc0000001
    You’ll need to use recovery tools. If you don’t have any installation media (like a disc or USB device), contact your PC administrator or PC/Device manufacturer.
    Press Enter to try again
    Press F1 to enter Recovery Environment
    Press F8 for Startup Settings
    Press Esc for UEFI Firmware Settings’

    As John mentioned, we used the same LAN adaptor previously and managed to image via FOG successfully before.

    i even tried changing the mac address to the default internal laptop mac address after the initial fog image completed (when it shutdowns the laptop) and booted the laptop back up to see if it helps but no luck

    Just follow these steps:
    Replace the following files (I used the default installation):

    /root/fogproject/utils/FOGiPXE/buildipxe.sh /root/ipxe/src/config/usb.h

    then fire:

    /root/fogproject/utils/FOGiPXE/buildipxe.sh

    and finally copy the files to the target folder:

    cp -r /root/fogproject/packages/ftp/* /tftpboot

    Hi,

    I’m using fog server 1.5.10 on Ubuntu 22.04.
    Till now everything worked but this week we had to create a WS2K25 dump.

    And just after the grub try to start on hard disk we have this error :

    Launching GRUB... begin pxe call(type=DHCP_ACK)... Fatal: DHCP_ACK failure! PXE unload fails: 106 Starting cmain() ...

    The test have been done on Optiplex 5050 and Optiplex 9020.

    On the 9020, changing the SATA type form RAID or AHCI to SATA in BIOS solves the issue but on 5050 the SATA option does not exist.

    Anyway, any other os image from Linux to W11 or WS2K22 works without any issue with AHCI setup.

    Any idea on how to solves this ?

    @Jchinn412 The answer is it depends on how you have your disk structure setup

    Post the results of these two commands.

    lsblk
    df -h

    It maybe easy or harder (but not impossible) depending on how you have the disk created.

    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!

    @Tom-Elliott oh, sorry, I didn’t notice this big yellow button in the General tab

    48c096ca-5f09-42d1-84dc-647e5bc6e22d-image.png

    And I can see the same button for the group, so I guess I can handle this. Thank you very much @Tom-Elliott ! 😄
