    @chevengur there is not enough information to help you in that picture. If we could see more of the error message that partclone threw (i.e. just above the top of your picture) we would know what happened. At the point in the script all we know is that partclone wasn’t happy.

    @FlorianLenz I did all these steps and it worked with normal USB adapters, but with USB-C-Ethernet adapters does not work, could you help me out?
    (It could be important to know this type-c adapter have 1 HDMI port and 3 normal usb ports)

    @Sebastian-Roth while poking round in the BIOS on some new Dell machines I did find an option called “Force PXE on next Boot” - https://www.dell.com/support/manuals/en-uk/dell-cmnd-config-v3.0/dell_command_configure_cli-v3/-forcepxeonnextboot?guid=guid-85c17652-4a18-4538-8665-e6b3e777d649&lang=en-us

    You have to have the dell tools installed, but this would be a possible option.

    I know with my current machines when a BIOS update happens it keeps overwriting the boot order so my PXE boot doesn’t happen. Quite annoying!

    I don’t know how I’d go about making the FOG Client execute this command before a task reboot though.

    @JasonNaughton This is a strange one. The linux kernel just doesn’t just invent mac addresses. It would be interesting to look up the first 6 characters of the mac address to see if you could identify the manufacturer.

    So are you saying there are 4 physical nics in this computer. LOM, PCie 1, PCie 2? Does that mac address belong to the LOM?

    I can say that we are dealing with 2 kernels here. The iPXE boot loader, and FOS Linux. Its technically possible to get to the fog ipxe menu and then when you start up FOS it doesn’t get an IP address because either the nic order has changed or there is missing firmware that is needed to init certain nics.

    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!

    Hello!
    I’m new to using FOG and currently having the issue that after a deployment, windows will change the boot order to be first in the boot priority list.
    I’ve done some reading and someone published a FogAPI command to Set-WinToBootToPxe, however I am just not sure how to do this.

    If there are any other solutions for this problem please let me know!
    Cheers.
