      With grub as the FOG_BOOT_EXIT_TYPE it still says BOOTMGR is missing. It works with the old .32 version of FOG. Just since the upgrade to version 1.2 has it stopped working.

        double check that the image type is set properly, after upgrading from .32 to 1.2 my existing win7 images changed to win 2000/win xp, and I had to manually set them back to Win 7. The issue might just be that simple.

        Maybe its something from the migration process, I’m not really sure. maybe someone needs to take a look at that.

            Yes my images were set to win 2000/win xp. I had to change them all back to windows 7. It still didnt solve my problem. For some reason the new version of FOG doesnt like this model of DELL. I am thinking about adding an intel ethernet card and disabling the integrated broadcom.

                did you try downloading a different kernel? also check to see if there are bios updates for the XE

                    How do you know what kernel you are currently using?

                      when you updated to 1.2 I believe it updates the default kernel, there are some newer ones you can download them from the fog configuration tab, there is an option for downloading kernels.

                      downloading an additional PXE boot image, save it as a custom option bzimage###. then go to your system inventory and set the machine to use a custom boot loader, fog/kernel/bzimage###. Then make sure that you delete the pending task, so that it picks up the custom kernel when it creates the new task. Since your other systems are working fine with the current default it would be best to test a different kernel without overwriting the current one.

                      you can look here [url]http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/WorkingDevices[/url] to see if your system is on the list and what kernels have been tested to work with it.

                        this is not a kernel issue. it is a ipxe issue. updating the kernel will not help

                          We fixed this by runing startup repair with the windows 7 install disk. For some reason with fog .32 it was using the bootmanager from the fox pxe boot image.

                                Yep,

                                Make sure your network is good to go. In some cases you may also need to power down completely, and “cold” start the system.

                                First, check the network though. I actually saw this exact issue today. All other systems were perfectly fine, it was just this one system that had the issue. Replaced patch cable and restarted system. Everything succeeded.

                                    I have the same problem you had at the time of loading the image I get black screen and a blinking in the corner hairline.
                                    Do you have the solution to this problem?
                                    Could you help me fix it?

                                      Microsoft AD environment with 200+ computers. Upgraded fog server to 1.2 from 0.32. No previous similar problems.
                                      On approximately 10% of campus computers, we are also seeing the “perma-blinking” top left cursor after
                                      the Fog Menu screen during PXY boot. Laptops and Desktops running Windows 7. Have to turn off PXY boot
                                      for work around. Today tried my first Fog “Quick Image” on a Dell Latitude with this issue and it also hangs about
                                      15 minutes into the reimage on the same blinking cursor screen. Hoping for some information, directions, questions.
                                      Thanks very much.

                                        @MJR Correction; the Quick Image worked (after turning back on PXE) , it apparently just hung on the final reboot in the same place it always does.

                                            @Wayne-Workman Thanks for your response; I don’t know how specific you need me to be but we are 90% Dell.
                                            Generally speaking, there’s at least one Optiplex 780 (2012?), a few Optiplex 3010’s (2013), and 3 or 4 Dell Latitude E6520’s (2011). Our Network Engineer suggested maybe a certain brand/model of NIC’s…
