Stuck uploading image (Booting from SAN device0x80)

[Tom Elliott]

What mode is the sata (in bios) set to right now?

AHCI is just one suggestion. Is this being booted from EFI? How is it loading? We NEED the details to help you.

The fact that NONE of the exit styles are working indicate a problem with the BIOS configuration, but I do not know what your bios Config is.

i guess i’m not understanding the exact nature of your current problem.
which of the following are you trying to do?

1. upload an image to the server from the host
2. download an image from the server to the host
3. boot a computer that you have deployed an image to from the fog server
4. boot a computer that you used to upload an image to the server

3. boot a computer that you have deployed an image to from the fog server

All types (SAN, Exit, GRUB) get stuck when trying to boot after downloading an image.

What is the SATA controller set to in the BIOS of these system(s)?

I am having a similar issue but I know it has to do with the BIOS. Although there has been some weird anomalies that have been happening. For some reason the GRUB boot isn’t an option and I’m stuck in a boot loop with SANBOOT and Exit. How can I get the GRUB boot back?

@George-Katsigiannis What version of FOG are you using?

I don’t know why it got deleted but it missing or not may not matter. My guess is the bios is setup for efi but network boot is set for legacy. Legacy cannot boot to efi. It can boot if exit is applied, but ipxe is then handling the reigns and the system exit can’t properly exit back to efi mode.

Special thank you’s to Tom Elliott and Wayne Workman!
Sorry for the miscommunication in this post. We’re hitting crunch time as school is going to be starting back up in a few weeks with at least 80 more devices that have yet to be imaged.

Regardless, thanks again

@almontschools Do you still need help? Can you answer Tom’s question below?

[almontschools]

@wayne-workman No, we do not need any more help with this problem. We do, however, have another thread opened for a different issue.
@tom-elliott Attached is an image of the device configuration section of the machine’s BIOS.
