    Looking at my other Fog server at home, it does not appear to have the same issue. I can dig deeper here but on the surface, the major difference is that the home machine is Ubuntu 24.04 with fog version 1.5.10.1650

    @rodluz I know you were talking to the other person, but if you like you can send me the kernels for testing.

    Hi Again guys

    I have some news about this problem.
    I found a work around.

    I change the file d1.fixed_size_partitions deleting the recovery Windows partition. This change generated and error when I made the deploy image in Client PC.
    But if I cancel the job in the CLI fog server and reset the client machine after fog show the error
    It boot ok.

    I’ll continue reading …
    Thanks

    Ok so the system in question has an on board nic (enp128s31f6), 1 single port Intel PCI-E Gigabit NIC (enp5s0), and 1 dual port Intel PCI-E Gigabit NIC (enp3s0 and enp4s0).

    So I booted the system with a Linux system rescue USB key. The network cable is plugged into the single port nic. You can see that it has the IP address 172.16.57.22 was fetched. Without any issues. The mac addresses on the identified nics are:

    enp128s31f6 - d4:a2:cd:b7:17:f2 enp3s0 - 00:13:3b:50:b2:b0 enp4s0 - 00:13:3b:50:b2:b1 enp5s0 - ec:08:6b:04:f9:d9 (the one that is attached to the network cable)

    Now when I boot the system up into debug mode with FOG into the FOS environment it seems whatever port is pluged into the lan it adopts another NIC’s mac address as shown below:

    FogClient-Image.jpg

    Now you can see when the fog client boots the mac address changes on the port that is connected to the LAN as:

    enp128s31f6 - d4:a2:cd:b7:17:f2 enp3s0 - 00:13:3b:50:b2:b0 enp4s0 - 00:13:3b:50:b2:b1 enp5s0 - ec:08:6b:04:f9:d9 --> Changed to 00:13:3b:50:b2:b0 (the one that is attached to the network cable)

    Now I’ve plugged the cable into enp128s31f6 and setup dhcp on that port as well and tested it. When the fog client starts all of sudden the enp128s31f6 has another NIC’s mac address…

    Just a re-cap if I pull the two network cards, and do the re-image on the system I have no issues. It only occurs when I put an additional nic into the system… Any suggestions?

    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!
