      the line with "[COLOR=#007700][I][FONT=monospace]print [/FONT][/I][/COLOR][COLOR=#dd0000][I][FONT=monospace]“console --picture [/FONT][/I][/COLOR][COLOR=#0000bb][I][FONT=monospace]$this[/FONT][/I][/COLOR][COLOR=#007700][I][FONT=monospace]->[/FONT][/I][/COLOR][COLOR=#0000bb][I][FONT=monospace]booturl[/FONT][/I][/COLOR][COLOR=#dd0000][I][FONT=monospace]/ipxe/bg.png[/FONT][/I][/COLOR]” is your problem, it’s trying to bring up a console image, and hyper-v doesn’t seem to work properly for that. if you remove that line entirely, it will probably work for you. though, non of your computers will have the nice pretty boot menu anymore

              I’m pulling my hair out now, as i had it working!.. i had to do a reinstall of fog as i started to get odd errors… im back to square one again now. Hyper-v wont boot to ipxe… i’ve tried to re enter my settings as in post 9# and after a restart. it nolonger works…

              i’ve restored the menuboot.class.php to the default settings…(as below) any ideas?

              [CODE]

                  print "#!ipxe\n";
                  print "cpuid --ext 29 && set arch x86_64 || set arch i386\n";
                  print "colour --rgb 0xff6600 2\n";
                  print "cpair --foreground 7 --background 2 2\n";
                  if (substr($_REQUEST['mac'],0,8)=="00:15:5d"){
                                  print "# Hyper-V MAC address detected - no console background\n";
                          } else  {
                                  print "console --picture $this->booturl/ipxe/bg.png --left 100 --right 80\n";
                  if (!$this->hiddenmenu)
                  {
                      $showDebug = $_REQUEST["debug"] === "1";
                      print ":MENU\n";
                      print "menu\n";
              

              [/CODE]

                Did you literally restore the file as menuboot.class.php?

                It’s name should be BootMenu.class.php (case important.)

                      Can you walk us trough exactly what you get now? Does it grab an IP to PXE to, does anything from fog show up, does it retrieve the init.xz or the bzimage file?

                        Hi thanks for your reply… it looks just like it does now in post #1… that’s my hyper-v windows 7 machine… all other physical clients are unaffected

                        thanks

                          By restored i’m assuming you put the default menu back in.

                              If you want,

                              You can try the lastest svn too.

                              Since 1.2.0 I’ve learned how to test whether the console part will operate or not and adjust the screen accordingly.

                                    Hi Jah, I have been using Hyper-V to do some Win7 64 bit images. You have to have a legacy NIC on the Vm and the boot order in the BIOS must be this legacy NIC. And the Fog server doing the DHCP

                                      Hi thanks for your reply… Yes its a Legacy NIC on Hyper-v and set to first boot… however my on site DHCP server is serving the dynamic IPs.

                                      I do get an IP address from my DHCP…it just displays the error in POST #1

                                      Thanks again for looking at this.
