      @george1421 I got it to work! I plugged a dumb switch inbetween the managed ciscos and the PC i was trying to pxe boot. I’m thinking there is a power saving issue setup that keeps it from powering on

      Now here’s another problem.

      When its at
      *Start host registration
      *Enter hostname for this computer:

      I’m going to reinstall fog from scratch i think

      I cannot type anything !!!

      Much love to you developers who have helped this linux noob out with this problem. It’s been super educational ❤

        We have seen this condition as a spanning tree issue (not using one of the fast spanning tree protocols like portFast or RSTP. Also we see this condition with the green ethernet settings on the switch getting confused and powering off the port. Placing a dumb switch in between the building switch and the pxe booting computer keeps the building switch active while PXE hands off to iPXE and then iPXE hands off to FOS Linux. Every time this hand off happens it drops the ethernet link momentarily. The switch sees this as a disconnect/reconnect.

        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!

          @tech49 Please make a new thread for the new issue so we can help you there. (since it’s unrelated to the thread)
