      Are you purposely trying to UEFI boot? Have you not tried to put the laptops into legacy mode, or turn legacy option ROM support on?

      We are purposely trying UEFI boot, the software that we are testing require window 8 or 10 in UEFI mode. We tried legacy mode and it works.

      @Sebastian-Roth said:

      There is a setting to enable kernel debug output on the console for booting. Please enable KERNEL_DEBUG and crank up the LOGLEVEL in your FOG Settings (FOG Boot Settings) to 7. Hope we see more messages than just this.

      We set it to 7 and it show no more than previous message, no difference.

      Can you try some of the other .efi files, for example, try the snp.efi, or snponly.efi.
      I tried snp.efi, snponly.efi, intel.efi this time, they all stuck on “init.xz”

      @Tom-Elliott said:

      That said, of course there’s always the possibility that it’s loading is just taking a while. Not everything is instant. So how long are these sitting there?

      It sit on the “init.xz” for around 5 minutes then it goes back to the boot manager of the laptop. Then I check the fog manager, no host has been registered.

        Debug enabled (DEBUG=image) ipxe.efi binary to try: ipxe.efi

        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)

          Might this change have anything to do with it?? http://sourceforge.net/p/freeghost/code/4302/tree//trunk/src/ipxe/src-efi/config/general.h?diff=4031

          I kind of doubt it but it still jumped at me when I looked through the recent changes on ipxe in our code.

          The binary I compiled is without those defines…

            I suppose it could, I can remove it and try again.

              It is able to register the device now. I reinstalled the fog server and run Sebastian’s ‘ipxe.efi’. Running Fog version 5291. Thanks for the help

                    Can you re-retry with latest trunk? I’ve removed the image lines as @Sebastian-Roth suggested and pushed it out.

                          Good news is I just UEFI network booted a Optiplex 9020 for the first time EVER! Awesome!!!

                          Bad news is our network manager goofed the entire district’s dhcp… I told him not to set options for our administration center in the super scope because it’d interfere… gah…

                            So… interesting…

                            with the Ad-Center goofing the DHCP, and this one computer pulling a lease from the ad-center’s DHCP coincidentally, it booted over UEFI. Ad-Center has FOG SVN 4103, cloud 4848…

                            I had our network manager change it back to point to our local fog server, which is running cloud 5293 svn 4323 and now UEFI network booting on the same machine is not working…

                            Sucks that it worked and then broke, but that’s a solid place to start looking…

                            -------------EDIT--------------

                            I’m a moron, I didn’t have a task queued for our local FOG server. Did that and network booted over UEFI.

                            IT’S IMAGING, NO PROBLEMS !!!

                            I’m going to have all our sites update to the latest now after snap-shoting. 🙂

                              Thanks guys for testing and reporting back that quickly! Sounds great from my point of view. Still I wonder why those config changes made a difference. @Tom-Elliott Why did you add those?

                                @Sebastian-Roth to be honest, it was an attempt at comminizing the files so they were very similar between efi and non efi. It was not to hurt anything, but a way to make things more similar.

                                It’s this separation that you see two ipxescript files as well.
