    Description

    Wanted to document this configuration for others.

    I’m using FOG to image UEFI multi-boot systems, with boot-time selection controlled by /EFI/ubuntu/grubx64.efi. UEFI is configured to boot PXE first, then from the hard drive.

    When I configure iPXE’s UEFI exit to anything other than rEFInd, I get the infinite boot attempts issue.

    When I leave iPXE’s UEFI exit to rEFInd, the default I believe, then rEFInd tries to boot the first .efi file from /EFI/ubuntu/, which fails to boot. This is because the default_selection for rEFInd is set to 1.

    I solved my problem with this:

    sed -i 's/^default_selection .*/default_selection "grubx64.efi"/' /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe/refind.conf
    

    BTW: You guys have been busy! I’m liking 1.5.0. Good work.

      @fractal13 Hey, long time no hear, hope all is well.

      Wondering if you (being the original writer and all) wouldn’t mind reviewing my latest procsfdisk.awk script? Had a few issues in 1.3.x days that kind of required a rewrite of it all, which went fairly well. Last night (early this morning) I hope to have solved the mystery of extended partitions though I’m sure it’s not perfect. I can’t see the “flow” nicely. So a good review could be very very useful. (Others are welcome to it as well.)

      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
