ASSERT_EFI_ERROR Ubuntu 26.04.1 FOG Server 1.5.10.2518

[Paladin1]

Hi;

Objective: Build a “standalone” FOG server environment i.e. one machine as the FOG server and three others as hosts of FOG tasks such as full wipes/capture/deploy I am trying to get the while screen so I can do a registration of a “target” machine. However I am getting the following error(s) instead which I cannot get past.

**iPXE initialising devices…•

autoexec.ipxe… Not found (https://ipxe.org/2d12618e)
/autoexec. ipxe… Not found (https://ipxe.org/2d12618e)
ASSERT c:tedk2\udk2010.sr1.x2\MdeModulePkg\Library\UefiHiilib\Hiilib.c(257): Hii
Handle != ((void ж) 0)

ASSERT_EFI_ERROR (Status = Not Found)
ASSERT c:ledk2\udk2010.sr1.x2\MdeModulePkg\Library\Uef1H11L1b\H11Lib.c(259): IEF
I_ERROR (Status)
ASSERT c:sedk2\udk2010.sr1.x2\MdePkg\Library \BaseL ib\LinkedList.c(60): List 1= ( .(void ) o)*

Reproduction Steps:

Build FOG Server

• Perform a clean Ubuntu Desktop 26.04.1 installation (then reboot machine)
• Open UBUNTU App Centre and perform an Update All to ensure all applications are up to date (reboot machine)
• Run Firmware Updater to bring firmware up to date (reboot machine)
• Open terminal:
  execute sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
  execute sudo apt autoremove -y

Reboot machine

2)Install FOG
Based on current installation instructions for FOG 1.5:
Install git
clone fog project from github
run the ./installfog.sh bash script

3. Try to register “target” machine
   Check BIOS for
   latest version
   UEFI boot enabled
   PXE boot enabled
   Set boot order so IPv4 and IPv6 are first in boot order

Restart machine and hope for white screen to Register a Host. Get above error. Please note I have tried more flavours of the reproduction steps than Baskin Robbins has ice cream flavours e.g. with/without SecureBoot, DHCP, DNS, router even Ubuntu 24.04.5 and Ubuntu 26.04.1 all with the same errors on my host machine. I even broke down and did an RTFM of fog docs, wiki, and forums.

Fog install log files:
fog_error_1.5.10.2518.log
foginstall.log

@Paladin1 Thanks for the full logs. The autoexec.ipxe ... Not found lines are normal for your install. The installer removes that file from the TFTP root on purpose.

The ASSERT ... udk2010 ... HiiLib.c lines do not come from FOG or iPXE. They come from the target machine’s own UEFI firmware. iPXE starts, then the firmware fails an internal check and stops.

To narrow it down, please tell us:

• The make and model of the target machine, and its BIOS version.
• A photo of the whole screen, from the first line. We need the line that starts with “iPXE” and shows its version.
• Is any other DHCP server active on that network, such as your router? If yes, what boot file (option 67) does it give out?
• Does the target boot to the FOG menu in Legacy/CSM mode, with UEFI off?
