      @poizzon Edit /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/refind.conf on your FOG server. Find the line that looks like this:

      ...
      scanfor  internal,hdbios
      ...
      

      Remove the ,hdbios part of that line, save and try again.

      Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

      Please support FOG if you like it: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Support_FOG

        #~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        scanfor internal

          @poizzon This menu we can work with. If you wait for a period of time does the system boot?

          Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG!

              Here is a repeat of a post helpfully provided by @Enrico

              Those settings fit more situations, I think (but I can’t assure that) but you can tune them.
              
              scanfor selects where it is going to search for boot loaders. In my case, “internal” does not find bootcamp boot loader, so I add “hdbios”.
              
              scandelay 5 is needed because the default 0 is too quick to permit the bootcamp become available.
              
              timeout 5 is needed because the default -1 goes straightforward to boot the default loader and does not show the two os options. So, this one is needed if you have a multiboot system only.
              

              In your case, check scandelay and set it for 5, and then timeout to -1 to pick the default boot loader without delay. Yes I understand the post was about OSX (Apple), but UEFI is UEFI.

              Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG!

                @george1421 I think this menu is not a problem, as I understand it is due to scanfor …

                by default are set like you say

                ....
                timeout -1
                ....
                scan_delay 5
                ....

                  @poizzon I think here we have 2 issues.

                  1. The system is setting at the refind menu, where you pick enter and it boots into windows.
                  2. The system doesn’t discover any efi boot partitions on the computer so it posts your earlier message.

                  In regards to the computer that doesn’t find any efi boot partitions, what hardware is this Manufacturer and model?

                    @george1421 All computers are Dell’s :
                    Latitude E5570
                    PowerEdge T20

                    As I remember installation of this computers was made with secure boot enabled.
                    Maybe I had to install with the option turned off secured boot ?

                    Partitions are GPT

                      @poizzon The Secure boot question is only an issue related to pxe booting non-microsoft operating systems. With secure boot on, only operating systems with a valid certificate can boot on that hardware. So secure boot only impacts booting linux and iPXE on the target computer and not the quality of the image on the target computer.

                      Can you take one of these non-refind-booting systems and boot it into windows and then do a print screen of the disk manager table partition layout and post the picture here? I would be interesting in seeing what the disk geometry looks like,

                          @poizzon said in rEFInd - Initializing after disable Secure boot:

                          Partition 1 System 499 MB 1024 KB

                          Today I made a test with VMware Workstation with a blank disc and turned UEFI function.
                          I got the same error.

                          p.s.: after instaling WIndows, and tryng boot from network - same situation

                            @poizzon Same here. I tried replacing in S: partition to the latest rEFInd but still getting stuck at “initializing”.
