    @george1421 @JJ-Fullmer I am more than happy to do some testing. Please provide me instruction on what is needed and the debug information that is needed and I can provide some time to testing. Thanks for all of your help.

    And to answer the question I am unsure how to change the rEFId version in FOG to make this work for this hardware but we do have a workaround by using BIOS for now till we get this issue resolved.

      @quinniedid You can get the refind files from here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/refind/files/

      1. Just download the version you are interested in.
      2. Then grab the refind.efi file from the zip file and…
      3. Rename
        /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe/refind.efi to /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe/refind.efi.sav
        mv /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe/refind.efi /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe/refind.efi.sav
      4. Copy the refind.efi file to /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe
      5. Done.

      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!

        @george1421 I was able to change that file to an earlier version and it appears to have fixed our UEFI issue on our newer HP PC’s

        @JJ-Fullmer Please let me know what I can provide in testing if needed

          @quinniedid I haven’t heard from the rEFInd developer since the initial contact. As soon as I know something I’ll post it here.

          Have you tried the FogApi powershell module? It's pretty cool IMHO

              @psycholiquid Have you tried reverting the FOG Server refind version to 0.11.0 and older? That’s the current workaround.

                @JJ-Fullmer Yeah I started a new post with what I did, I had to piece together some stuff to get the whole shebang to work.

                  @george1421 Hi, I’m attempting this fix right now and I’m running into an issue. I downloaded the latest version of the zip, and I only see refind_aa64.efi, refind_ia32.efi, and refind_x64.efi. I do not see the refind.efi file in the latest version, or 1 version behind that. Should I just replace the 3 files I listed? or will that cause issues.

                    @yeet said in rEFInd PXE booting issue:

                    refind_aa64.efi, refind_ia32.efi, and refind_x64.efi.

                    on your fog server look in /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe directory. There will either be refind.efi in there or refind64.efi and refind32.efi.

                    First of all you can discard the aa64 version of refind because that is for ARM processors.

                    The others refind.efi is really the renamed refind_x64.efi. And if there is a refind32.efi that is just renamed refind_ia32.efi.

                    If you correctly rename the files it should work.

                    FWIW the fog installer installs a script where you can rebuild the current iPXE on the FOG server and not need to do the download and rename bit.

                    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!

                      @george1421 When I renamed refind.efi to refind_x64.efi, it worked as intended. Thank you for your help, I really appreciate it.
