        @plegrand Well it IS a different issue. Basically, a chain loading error is roughly equivalent to a blue screen in windows. Where refind not identifying the proper boot partition is a problem. The end result is that it doesn’t boot, but for different reasons.

        If you change the default boot order in the firmware to the hard drive first does it boot as expected?

            @plegrand Ok, so we need to understand why refind is incorrectly selecting the recovery partition.

            From a windows computer, can you give us a screen shot of the disk partition layout? You can do this from the Computer Management-> Disk Management plugin. Is your disk layout unique or just what ever windows picks when you install it?

                @plegrand Are these from 2 different computers?

                    Do you think i should upgrade FOG to the latest version ?
                    I’m using fog 1.5.0
                    Is there some risks to upgrade to 1.5.4 ?
                    Thanks

                        # scanfor internal,hdbios

                        It display refind logo
                        then it display "Pausing before disk scan; please wait…

                        at the third time : It launch windows 10.

                          In fact here is the situation.
                          The only problem i have is with uefi local boot.
                          i tried Exit Sanboot REFIND_EFI without success.
                          Is there a way to solve that?

                            Wow sorry I did not see this until now. Let me try to catch up.

                            1. Yes you should always be on the latest release. Currently its 1.5.4, the developers are working on some fixes to 1.5.4 with the 1.5.5 release but upgrade to 1.5.4 and then I can help you with the fixes to 1.5.4.

                            2. If you disable options in the refind.conf file it will take what ever the defaults are built into the program. I’m trying to remember, I believe there was an issue with refind 0.11.2 where downgrading refind to 0.11.0 solve the user’s issue, but I can’t seem to remember what the problem was that this is a fix for.

                            3. Sometimes the uefi firmware needs a little settling time before refind scans for hardware. There is an option in refind.conf to have refind pause for a bit then attempt to detect hardware.

                            4. For uefi systems your only options are refind and grub the rest are mainly for bios mode computers.

                            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!

                                To fix, you must just download to FOS kernel 4.15.2. The developers found what was causing the issue in a third party application. They are currently working with that third party application to resolve the issue. That fix will be rolled out with FOG 1.5.5 and the linux kernel 4.18.x.

                                There also is an out of memory condition that is fixed by adding a line to a php-fpm config file. With these two fixes FOG 1.5.4 works pretty well. There is still an issue with multicasting with 1.5.4 that has been fixed for 1.5.5. I believe the developers are trying to track down a FOG image replicator issue at the moment.

                                      @plegrand For the kernels you can do that via the FOG Configuration->Kernels menus. Just download both the 64 bit and 32 bit kernels.

                                      This step adds a memory setting to the php-fpm www.conf configuration file.

                                      1. Change to the /etc directory from the fog server linux command prompt.
                                      2. Search for www.conf file. It can be in a number of locations depending on what version of php is installed. Use this command.
                                        find /etc -name www.conf (hopefully you will only find one)
                                      3. Edit that file and comment the line but the default is 32MB change it to 256MB to make it look like this: php_admin_value[memory_limit] = 256M
                                      php_admin_value[memory_limit] = 256M
                                      
                                      1. Save and exit your text editor.
                                      2. Reboot the fog server.

                                          @george1421 As i’m behind a proxy i think there is a problem to download kernel from web interface.
                                          But proxy is configured in FOG settings; Proxy Settings

                                          Then i followed this :

                                          cd /var/www/fog/service/ipxe
                                          mv bzImage bzImage.orig
                                          wget https://fogproject.org/kernels/bzImage
                                          mv bzImage32 bzImage32.orig
                                          wget https://fogproject.org/kernels/bzImage32
                                          mv init.xz init.xz.orig
                                          wget https://fogproject.org/inits/init.xz
                                          mv init_32.xz init_32.xz.orig
                                          wget https://fogproject.org/inits/init_32.xz
                                          

                                          It’s the latest kernel !!
                                          Is it OK for you?

                                          Thanks a lot again.
