      Hi All,

      I am having an issue where if no task is set the machine will boot loop indefinitely from the EFI PXE menu. I’ve tried changing the EXIT TYPE to all of the options. The only one that works is rEFInd, and then that menu doesn’t exit to the OS on disk. Am I missing something here?

      Machine is UEFI, Windows 10. Will boot from hard drive normally if selected through hardware boot menu.

      Thanks!

        @jonhwood360 Some hardware/firmware is just not playing nicely when chainload the OS from disk. While rEFInd is your best call for UEFI based systems we do see this making problems on come hardware.

        Take a look at this post: https://forums.fogproject.org/post/141390

        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)

          Thanks for the references. Updating the refind x64 binary and making the following changes to the conf file seemed to work for my vmware vm:

          timeout 5
          scanfor internal,external,manual,netboot
          scan_delay 5

            To which version did you update? This might be helpful for other users as well.
