      @george1421 Good you mention the http/https change we made as I have not had that in mind. AFAIK this should not be causing a “hang issue”.

      @csa Maybe posting a picture or video of the hang is a good start. Sometimes there is something we see on the screen that just does not call out to you…

      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)

        @george1421 The same entries were working fine in version 1.3 and 1.4. Version 1.5 introduced this issues.

            @csa It would be interesting to see what FOG is telling iPXE when this freeze happens. With a browser what output does this command give you? http://10.10.34.98/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=00:1e:c9:7a:36:48

            Post the results here, please. Quite frankly the image shows a normal boot, what we don’t see is the rest of the ipxe commands that are being executed.

            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!

              @csa I’m of the bet this may be similar to the other problems but it’s the ipxe binary being newer than what was in 1.4.

              Could you try using the ipxe files from 1.4 and see if the machine starts working again? I really don’t think it’s anything with bootmenu generation.

                Morning @tom-elliott I pull the git repo and run the install program every time I upgrade. How can I safely role back to " ipxe files from 1.4"?

                Thank you

                  @csa You could just checkout the 1.4.0 tag:

                  git pull
git fetch --all --tags --prune
git checkout tags/1.4.0
cp packages/tftp/*.*pxe /tftpboot/
cp packages/tftp/*.efi /tftpboot/
git checkout dev-branch
git pull

                  That should do it, though I will admit I haven’t tested this all out.

                    @tom-elliott The binaries are same size. There is no difference. Looks like they weren’t changed on the new version.

                      @csa said in Fog upgrade to 1.5 broke PXE installation:

                      The binaries are same size

                      That’s a first sign but still does not mean that the binaries are the same. Please compare md5sums as well to make sure.

                      The other thing that comes to my mind… On that picture we see you try booting Ubuntu install kernel. Do you see the very same hang on init when booting into a FOG task like deploy or capture???

                          @sebastian-roth There is no difference. It still pauses at the installation.

                            @csa What do you mean by “There is no difference”?? Most if not all files differ in size! Why do you think they’re all the same?

                            As I already said days ago: On that picture we see you try booting Ubuntu install kernel. Do you see the very same hang on init when booting into a FOG task like deploy or capture???

                              @sebastian-roth I meant to say the issue is still the same. It gets hung at the same spot. Fog task deploy or capture NO we don’t see any issues but those are images.
                              Thank you

                                @csa So most probably it’s got something to do with the Ubuntu install you are trying to boot. Are you able to download those files using your web browser? http://10.10.34.98/fog/OS_IMAGES/ubuntu-16.04-DVD/install/netboot/ubuntu-installer/amd64/linux and http://10.10.34.98/fog/OS_IMAGES/ubuntu-16.04-DVD/install/netboot/ubuntu-installer/amd64/initrd.gz

                                Which versions of the binaries did you test? See Tom’s post where he suggested to checkout tags/1.4.0 and try those. Did you also checkout 1.3.0. Do they all have the hang?

                                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)

                                  @Sebastian-Roth and @Tom-Elliott Thank you so much for your help. Backed-up my current images and cleanly installed from the latest GIT-repo 1.5. Coping back the same hooks worked again. Not sure what happened during the upgrade but fog is back in production now.

                                  Thank you
