      I have installed FOG and successfully managed to image some machines and deploy those images to other machines and that part works great!

      Once the image is either taken or deployed the restart causes the machine to PXE boot as expected. However, after the machine boots into FOG, as there are no active tasks it should boot from the hard disk as this is the next option in the boot order that I set up in the BIOS. The problem is that the machine instead of continuing down the boot order to the hard disk, keeps trying to PXE boot until there is a failure reported and the system reaches a ‘grub rescue’ command line.

      How can I prevent PXE cycling over itself and get the machine to boot to the second boot option which is the hard disk?

      Thanks in advance for your help

        Hi,

        You can use it : [url]http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/ubuntu-14-xx-how-not-to-have-fog-start-automatically-when-server-starts.12741/#post-45418[/url]

        If there is no task iPXE return to boot on hard disk.

        Regards,
        Ch3i.

          hey, thank for the response.

          I changes the settings and the system no longer cycles round in PXE. However it still doesn’t load Ubuntu. After it prints…
          /default.ipxe. . . ok
          /fog/service/ipxe/boot.php. . . ok
          ‘Booting from SAN device 0X88’

          and then nothing happens. I cant even restart with ctrl+alt+del

            In FOG configuration (Web GUI), under iPXE boot menu, play around with the “Exit to Hard Drive Type”.
            Default is Sanboot.

              I have tried all the options available, unfortunately none boot the system to ubuntu. The Sanboot option after repeated attempts remains as above. The other options “exit” and “grub” send the machine to a grub rescue command line. I need to restart manually and change the boot order in BIOS to load Ubuntu.

              Is there a way to send it to the second boot option?

                  FOG now has everything it needs to setup your server, but please
                  understand that this script will overwrite any setting you may
                  have setup for services like DHCP, apache, pxe, tftp, and NFS.

                  It is not recommended that you install this on a production system
                  as this script modifies many of your system settings.

                  This script should be run by the root user on Redhat or with sudo on Ubuntu.

                  ** Notice ** Redhat users will need to disable SELinux and iptables in
                  order to use FOG
                  Please see our wiki for more information at [url]http://www.fogproject.org/wiki[/url]
                  Here are the settings FOG will use:
                  Base Linux: Debian
                  Detected Linux Distribution: Ubuntu
                  Installation Type: Normal Server
                  Server IP Address: 192.168.90.83
                  DHCP router Address: 192.168.90.254
                  DHCP DNS Address: 192.168.90.10
                  Interface: eth0
                  Using FOG DHCP: 0
                  Internationalization: 0
                  Donate: 0

                       DHCP will NOT be setup but you must setup your
     current DHCP server to use FOG for PXE services.

     On a Linux DHCP server you must set:
         next-server

     On a Windows DHCP server you must set:
         option 066 & 067

               Option 066 is the IP of the FOG Server: (e.g. 192.168.90.83)
               Option 067 is the undionly.kpxe file: (e.g. undionly.kpxe)

                                      All the stuff asking for the install/error logs, is just a part of my signature, they appear beneath all of my posts.
