      Hi, I set up the DHCP server to allow UEFI imaging for fog. And it works! But only one laptop module. I am wondering why any other module will get to the downloading NBS file and then ask to retry the boot. Does anyone have any ideas?

        @ConJon Are they all the exact same model? Although PXE has a specification the details of PXE booting are different in many computer models and network cards…

        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)

          … and can be different between motherboard firmware/bios revisions.

            Update: They can boot into it with the Legacy Onboard NIC, but only one module can boot with the UEFI. They are different modules but they shouldnt be super different. They are all recent Lattitudes. Lattitude 7490 can boot into UEFI. However Lattitude 5480 and 7450 and 5450 cannot.

              @ConJon said in UEFI Booting works with some but not all machines:

              They are different modules but they shouldnt be super different.

              Believe it or not. They are all different, as you notice on PXE booting. Different firmware, different network chips, …

              Do you know that you need to use different NBS/iPXE binaries for UEFI vs. legacy BIOS? https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=BIOS_and_UEFI_Co-Existence

              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)

                @Sebastian-Roth That makes sense, to be honest, just didn’t think it would make a big difference. I actually followed those exact instructions to get UEFI working. All machines were able to boot to UEFI before. But now it’s just the one. The only thing that I changed was I reverted the changes I made for the driver injection that george1421 made. Now as I said only one machine that can boot with UEFI. It’s weird though, I can image the other machines with a UEFI format through the legacy Onboard NIC.
