IT WORKS NOW!!! Is it too early to celebrate with a beer?
I made a few changes in the BIOS of my host - mainly disabling CSM. I think turning that off, in combination with updating the files you mentioned in my pfSense DHCP server finally did it.
When I check the platform type with the default.ipxe script I now get the proper response, efi.
Now I can start testing this on some other hardware types and see how it goes. I really can’t say thank you enough, @george1421 @Sebastian-Roth you guys have been extremely helpful.
@dtkeith002 said in Acer Aspire A515-55 Connection Timed Out:
Does FOG offer the ability to listen on multiple interfaces / ips at the same time? I haven’t dug into the config files to see. If so I can try a direct bridge to the server VM and bypass the network completely.
Don’t think it’s worth going down that route. Testing on the same switch as the server should be enough to rule out most of the network related stuff.
From the picture we see that it seems to be able to fully download the kernel (bzImage) file but times out on the initrd (init.xz). I would setup a mirror port on the switch and capture traffic on both ends - client port (using a notebook with Wireshark on the mirror port) and directly on the FOG server (e.g. using tcpdump). Use capture filters to restrict traffic to a particular MAC address (ether host aa:bb:cc:11:22:33). Please upload the PCAPs to a file share and post links here.
If that doesn’t give us enough insights we might compile debug enabled iPXE binaries to analyze the TCP traffic - though this will a tough job!
Have you tried using ipxe.efi yet?
@x23piracy said in First default domain admin login never ends when FOG (1.5.0) joins to domain (FOG Client 0.11.15):
Is it possible that this has something to do how the older FOG Client technically joins into domain or what could be the reason here?
That’s a really good question. Though I can’t give you a clear answer. There have been changes in how the fog-client attempts to join a domain but all of these code changes were before 0.11.15 was released in February 2018. Usually I tell people to update to the latest version of FOG/fog-client and try again but I suppose this is of not much help here.
You might want to study that code on github and try some search engine foo to get an idea if there are other methods to join a domain. Though it would take a lot to convince me to use a different method which has not gone through any testing yet.
When i deploy the image without letting FOG join the device to the domain i can logon the default domain administrator without any problem.
I suppose this implies manually joining the domain, right?

How can i install Fog on Alt linux server
You’d need to modify the installer script and add support for this distro. Shouldn’t be too hard if you are good with bash scripting and we shall support your effort if you promise to maintain this part of the installer for some time down the road. Minor modifications are needed from time to time when new releases of a linux distro come out.
@smoooo Unfortunately, Apple is not in the habit of creating open source tools for the community to use, so there’s very little to no options for such things.
