    Hi,

    in the end do not forget what Wolfbane8653 told you to do…

    [quote=“Wolfbane8653, post: 33629, member: 3362”]Check your version of BIOS and confirm you have the most up-to-date version downloaded from the Dell support page. Then confirm your settings for PXE boot and turn off the LAST STATE settings.[/quote]

      [quote=“Ron L, post: 33633, member: 24685”]Still unable to get the reboot to start the image automatically - just boots straight to windows.[/quote]

      Take me step-by-step here. You boot the machine then what does it go to? Directly to windows? Nothing about getting DHCP or iPXE Configuring?

        Hi,

        he registers a host, then in the meantime he creates a task with an image assigned, else he couldn’t plan a task.
        Then when the machine will be network booted, it enters only the pxe menu instead of starting imaging immediatelly.

        Regards

          Well, I create the machine using the full registration tool, then watch my Ubuntu server, where it creates a task for itself. Then I reboot, and it boots to Windows without any pause for PXE recognition or anything. Manually booting via the NIC or setting the NIC as the first bootable device only gets me back to the FOG boot menu. If I attempt to do the full registration again, I get an error saying that the device is registered (which it is, as I can see it on the server) and the computer reboots, only to start the cycle again.

          EDIT I should add that if I add the machine and then manually create a task for it, it still does not image.

              Is your BIOS by chance set to fast boot?

              And not to beat a dead horse, but is there a “boot menu” you can call by pressing F11 or F12 during boot? If selecting this while a task is active for the machine does it display the DHCP information like it is looking to pxe boot and just skip over it?

                it sounds like your boot order isn’t set up correctly.
                also, try going to [url]http://<address[/url] of fog server>/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=<mac address of computer>&arch=x86_64
                and let us know what you see

                  I have it currently set to boot straight to the LAN, so I don’t need to press f12 each time I need to test it. It does display the DHCP info for about a tenth of a second before launching straight to the FOG menu. That doesn’t seem to be the problem I am having.

                          i see a reference to kernel bzimage.64 in your boot.php output, does does this file exist with this exact name, in the fog/service/ipxe directory of the web server? what have you done to update or modify the kernel being used?

                            The bzimage.64 kernel is located in fog/service/ipxe, and the fog options under confirm TFTP options confirm that it’s in use. I haven’t modified it.

                              is the options set to bzImage.64 or bzImage?

                                It was set to bzimage.64. I just now set it to /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/bzimage.64 to see if anything would change, but there hasn’t been any change.

                                  Change the kernel back to just plain jane bzImage.64.

                                  As you’re not deploying to the point where it even downloads that, my suspicion is in the boot parameters.

                                  To test this is going to be difficult and I may just request a remote session if at all possible where I can connect and tweak a few file on your fog server.
