      I’ve been having a couple of niggling issues with rEFInd (mainly warning about legacy boot and “scanfor”)

      I’ve edited my refind.conf in /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/refind.conf to turn legacy scanning off as it’s not needed, but I’m still getting the error.

      As a test, I’ve also changed timeout from -1 to 10, but I still don’t see rEFInd’s menu.

      This leads me to believe that refind.conf is not being loaded.

      What might I be doing wrong?

        @geekjosh It is reading it from that location. Now there is a possibility that you have two separate installs of fog going on your machine, this happens from time to time.

        Try:

        cp /var/www/{fog,html/fog}/service/ipxe/refind.conf
        

        Then try booting your machine.

        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)

          Exit type possibly?

          In FOG you can set exit per host, and globally.

          The defaults are:

          BIOS Boot: SANBOOT
          UEFI Boot: EXIT

          The global settings are found in FOG Configuration Page->FOG Settings->Boot Settings.

          If you set a specific host with defined exit types, that will override the Global for that host. Hopefully that helps.

            I’ve set exit type to REFIND, and that is working fine (as in, it loads refind) but refind appears to be ignoring the refind.conf - do I have to rebuild it with the new conf or something or should it just read that file at runtime like I’m expecting?

                  @geekjosh Then for safety in the future:

                  Please run:

                  mv /var/www/fog{,_backupold}
                  ln -s /var/www/html/fog /var/www/fog
