Fog Deploy stuck on "rebooting system as task is complete"
-
Anytime the PXE finishes and has to reboot and it prints on the screen “rebooting system as task is complete” it becomes stuck on that screen.
It worked to deploy image to this PC two days ago, but now I wanted to do another clean deploy after tinkering with it and now its just stuck.
Even full register will get stuck after finishing and I have to manually restart the PC, but this doesn’t work when deploying because it seems that Windows installation is not completed.

Fixed it by using “ahci=off reboot=warm” in Host Kernel Argument

“ahci=off reboot=warm”
Check to see if there is a firmware update for this system. You didn’t mention the system in question, but we typically need to set this for very old and/or somewhat flaky bios/firmware. Its not a typical setting that we need to make.

@george1421 It worked on the same PC with default settings before, we also have 8 other computers with same specs and it worked on them without any issues.
This is an PC/touch screen combo all in one. All the information from inventory matches across computers

@pevecg Well that’s interesting that only one of the units behaved this way. Thank you for the hardware info so if anyone else comes across this issue with the hardware they will find your answer.

@george1421 Also another update, we require our embedded system to have AHCI power on on power loss. The interesting part is that when setting this setting, we had to once fully power cycle the PC before the setting was applied/started to work.
Now its working every time after turning off power, waiting and pressing power on button several times then turning on power again. -

I’m not sure I understand. I get the idea that this setting “ahci=off reboot=warm” is causing problems after the system is imaged?? If that is what you say its not possible. These are instructions to the FOS Linux kernel. Once the kernel reboots and/or the computer is repowered there is no way those settings would still impact the computer.
