      @dureal99d You should use subtree_check, not no_subtree_check.

      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)

      Please support FOG if you like it: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Support_FOG

        @dureal99d ISO’s can be created to run in only “BIOS” mode. This means, while UEFI is backwards compatible from a support perspective, the ISO’s have no idea how to use UEFI. BIOS expects certain things to run. You must remember BIOS booting has been around, essentially, since the beginning of personal computers. UEFI is relatively new so simply saying “UEFI is supposed to be backwards compatible” doesn’t mean much. EFI has been around for quite some time, but only recently has it been in “major” use.

            @dureal99d The post I’m linking here.

            You are missing the initrd= statement. You will likely need to add: initrd=initrd.lz (or the respective initrd filename) to each of your menu entries.

              @dureal99d Try to use fetch=http://${fog-ip}/bootimgs/16.04.1_64/casper/squashfs instead of root=

                I understand.

                    your edit to my config file works flawlessly!!!

                    THank you @Tom-Elliott @Quazz @Wayne-Workman @george1421 & @Moderators @Senior-Developers @Developers.

                    this has been one heck of a trip but it was worth it in the end.

                      @dureal99d for the Linux distros the argument initrd=initrd.lz was missing. that’s crazy!!!

                        @dureal99d Well this is the difference of legacy vs. uefi too. UEFI doesn’t know much about the ram space, so there is no definition of where to find the initrd filesystem. With legacy, it typically loaded the initrd into the same point, so legacy systems wouldn’t have an issue. It doesn’t hurt legacy to have the initrd= options either, so this method should work the same for both legacy and uefi.

                          @dureal99d I run ddwrt sp2 v24 and being as it has successfully dual booted bios and uefi is it safe to say that it has the correct version of dnsmasq to handle the job?

                            @Tom-Elliott Yes i have tested the booting of the Linux isos in both bios and uefi and they work the same.

                              @dureal99d I don’t think version mattered here. DD-WRT uses DNSMASQ as the DHCP server for the router. The only “version” difference problems of UEFI/Legacy handouts I’m aware of was with ProxyDNS.
