      Just my $.02 worth… IF you are forcing a network boot it may loop as well. At least on our DELLs if you hit F3 to FORCE network boot and then try to boot to HDD/SSD it wont find it. Now this is also using DNSMASQ to send a boot menu and options. Not a straight DHCP.

      If allowed to pick up network boot automatically(even at first option) it works normally.

      This is all before fog menu comes up, purely the pxe/ipxe boot process.

        @george1421 Having tried each of the exit types without success, any other suggestions? Perhaps a kernel update?

          @mrcur What type of hardware (uefi / bios-legacy) are you having issues with?

          If its uefi, you will probably want to use rEFInd as your exit mode. You may need to tweak the refind.conf file to search for more devices if its not locating the hard drive.

          As for a kernel update not important. This is still in iPXE, not FOS. So the iPXE boot code is in charge.

            @george1421 It’s UEFI (the HP 440 G4).

              @mrcur ok set exit mode for uefi to rEFInd. Let me look through the config file. I should be in /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe directory.

                @mrcur Then edit /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe/refind.conf

                comment out

                # scanfor internal
                

                and uncomment

                scanfor internal,hdbios,external,biosexternal
                

                that should tell it to look in more places to see if it can find a boot device. rEFInd is a good choice to set as your global uefi exit mode. Its a real good boot loader (akin to grub)

                  @george1421 That’s apparently the default in my conf file. I’ll set it back to refind and see what it does.

                    @george1421 I get a warning about CSM not being available but hitting enter allows the laptop to boot. I suppose I need to remove the “hdbios” and “biosexternal”.

                        @mrcur Great!! rEFInd is a great boot loader (once you tell it where to and not to look).
