    @zaboxmaster Well we are going to need your assistance to help debug this. I can give you the steps needed to collect the information to help debug this.

    Schedule a new deploy/capture task, but before you tick the schedule task button, tick the debug checkbox. Now schedule the task. PXE boot the target computer. After several screens of text you need to clear with the enter key, you will be dropped to the FOS Linux command prompt. This next 3 steps will help with remote debugging and for copying the results out to post here. Key in ip a s and collect the IP address of the target computer. Reset root’s password with passwd Give it a simple password such as hello This password will be reset at the next reboot. Now connect to the target computer using ssh, either ssh from linux or putty from a windows computer. Key in and post the results here of the following commands
    uname -a
    lsblk
    lspci -nn
    grep -i -e firm /var/log/syslog Keep the debugging session open for additional commands.

    @Eruthon Thanks for the quick feedback. Should be all fine now I think. No need to post partition files as long as it works for you now.

    @fox134 Well lets hope you don’t have an ipxe.exe in there…

    The client gets its booting information from (the) dhcp responsible for assigning an ip address to the target computer. So if you want the target computer to use a different boot file then you might update dhcp options 67.

    Now with that said, from your OP you say that FOG is giving out the IP addresses on a dedicated imaging network. So if you want to change the boot file, you will need to edit the dhcp config file on your FOG server.

    To see what you config file looks like, you can review this example: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=BIOS_and_UEFI_Co-Existence#Example_1

    You will see for arch 7 and 9 it calls out ipxe.efi. You can replace that with maybe snponly.efi or any of the other efi files. Then you must restart your dns server. On ubuntu you would issue the command sudo systemctl restart isc-dhcp-server to restart the service.
