Boot from SAN device failed

[hariskar]

I made a clean installation of 3480 and with dhcp-boot=undionly.kpxe I registered the new PC and I can network-boot it. Now I have a new BIOS related problem I guess.
With boot option:

1. Windows
   2…

it boots normaly to WIndows

But with:

1.Network Boot
2. Windows

it boots to PXE, but when I cancel it with Esc it does not goes to option 2 and boot Windows but it stacks and tells me to reboot and choose a correct boot disk etc…

@hariskar You can change your exit to hard drive type like that : https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/5028/pxe-boot-in-previous-environemnt/4

[hariskar]

Thank you.
I changed Exit to Hard Drive Type to 'Exit style" and after Exc it goes again to PXE boot.
Then I changed it to “Grub style” and with Esc it stacks to reboot and choose a correct boot medium. I didn’t put anything in Advanced Configuration Options because I don’t know what.

I did not have this problem with the other PCs, after Esc it continued to boot with Option 2 (Windows)

Here are some details. I hope they help.

That information doesn’t really help us.
@ch3i was asking for the model, not the specifications. This is the numbers on the front of the PC, or the back of the PC.

We have lists of working and non-working hardware that we normally check when we find out the model. Those lists are here:

It is a desktop PC made from different parts.
The motherboard is: Gigabyte Z97P-D3 with firmware F7. What else would be useful?
Do you think it is incompatible?

[Wayne Workman]

Is this it?

[hariskar]

Yes, this is it…

[Wayne Workman]

It uses a Realtek GbE LAN chip (10/100/1000 Mbit)

Can you try to run all of the compatibility checks from the FOG boot menu?

[hariskar]

I run them. Nr 4 says that this PC seems compatible with fog. Do you want to post something of this test? If yes please tell me where can I find it.

[hariskar]

Could it be some BIOS setting? I did not change the defaults. Any idea which BIOS settings could affect Boot 2 option to start after cancelled Boot 1 option?
Thank you

[hariskar]

Windows do not start even if they are boot option 2 after the DVD player with PXE deactivated. So, it is not relevant to fog. So my fog problem seems to be resolved. Should I use the trunk from now on, or should I return to stable sometime?

Any idea if some BIOS setting could interfere with Windows in 2 Boot option not booting?

Yep for sure

Any idea sorry…

[hariskar]

Thank you for very fast and great support! (I made a small donation )
I hope that my BIOS problem will be resolved too.

Is UEFI enabled? Is Secure Boot enabled?

[hariskar]

Boot mode selection: UEFI and Legacy
Storage Boot option control: Legacy first
Secure boot mode: Standard

[Wayne Workman]

Try to turn off secure boot.
