      Let me preface this: I don’t know if what I want is possible. That’s why I brought it here.

      Soon, we will be getting new computers. With that means superhappyfuntimes, Not the least of which is UEFI. I can set the computers to use Legacy boot and everything with no problem, but UEFI is much faster. Can I have these three things together:

      1. FOG Imaging and management (PXE as first boot option)
      2. UEFI clients
      3. Legacy clients

      Or do I need to suck it up, take the extra 20 seconds of boot time, and try to work with that?

      Debian Jessie
      Intel Xeon 5130
      2GB RAM

      If you ever need it, you know…

        You can have it all and then some, though one requirement for UEFI booting, before/after imaging, enable/disable secure boot.

        Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG! Get in contact with me (chat bubble in the top right corner) if you want to join in.

        Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

          so, before imaging, you set network boot to legacy mode.

          Disable secure boot.

          Perform image task (upload/download)

          On reboot, re-enable secure boot, make disk first to boot.

          Presto, you should work.

          A little extra work, but it should work.

            I’m on FOG 2072. (That was probably important)

            Anyway, UEFI clients don’t seem to boot PXE with the efi PXE client, which would be helpful. I really like the remote wake/task start and I use it quite often. It’d be nice if I could use it.

            EDIT: I’ve upgraded to FOG 2637. My UEFI test machine just hangs at “>>Start PXE over IPv4”

              Alright, I’m going to bump this to try again.

              I need FOG to feed the .efi file to UEFI clients and the .kkpxe file to regular clients. How do I set this up?

                I don’t know.

                There’s lots of documentation on the internet on how to do it, but I’ve never tried any of the steps.

                Maybe start there? Specifically: dhcp user class ipxe?
