Imposible to boot from hard drive

@aksl said in Imposible to boot from hard drive:
Is it possible that it can not work with this motherboard?
Definitely possible. We have seen buggy UEFI firmware that wasn’t able to chainload the linux kernel so it is also possible to see issues with chainloading to rEFInd on some crappy firmware. This just sparked an idea… Are you able to deploy/capture from those PCs that have an issue with chainloading? I suspect rEFInd and linux kernel just being EFI stub binaries and should actually show the same behavior (hang). Can you confirm?

I am able to capture image from this PC.

Ok then we need to go dive into the ugly underworld of UEFI… Download
03_ipxe.efi
here and put it into /tftpboot folder on your FOG server. Rename the originalipxe.efi
and name that new one like this so clients will use this for booting. This should give is some debugging output on where it hangs. Just take a picture of the hanging screen and post here. -
I feel like it’s like before.
I do not see a debug.
This is my pfSense - DHCP server config : is it correct for the boot?
-
- As long as next server points to your fog server that field is correct.
- The BIOS name is correct.
- You should probably add in uefi 32 bit of
i386-efi/ipxe.efi
- And finally uefi 64 of
ipxe.efi
-
Then, the problem is the same.
Always this stroke that flashes at the top left.
Nothing displayed on the screen.
Or it is the messages before the boot menu ?
-
@aksl Reading your earlier message I had the impression that you were in UEFI mode not legacy BIOS… For that I need to compile a different debug enabled binary. Did you change from UEFI to legacy BIOS or what?
-
No, i’m in UEFI mode.
-
What is “last” version?
-
@tom-elliott last version of what ?
-
@aksl Just interested to know if the 3020M, since you are in uefi mode, what is the disk configured as? Is it achi or raid mode? There IS an issue with linux and uefi and raid-on mode with most hardwares.
-
I can’t test with 3020M because there is not UEFI, just Legacy. I can’t format it actually. I can just play with the ASUS motherboard.
-
Last version of FOG? Per the posting we still don’t know what version of fog you’re actually running, we just know it’s Last, whatever that means.
-
Running version : 1.4.4
-
There was a problem with UEFI imaging in 1.4.4 that was reported and we think fixed in the RC’s. Mind attempting to install the dev-branch and see if it helps out?
-
-
I did the update without reinstalling everything and the problem remains.
This is surely a problem in the bios. But impossible to find. I do not know what to do.

@aksl Are keen to get your hands dirty and dive into “compiling and debugging iPXE”?? If yes is your answer, there is a way I could lead you.
