Net Boot Issue
-
After successful setup and configuration of FOG, I have been using Windows Server DHCP with a hyper-v instance of Ubuntu 18.04 to run FOG. In the past week, I have been receiving a persisting error message during PXE network boot and I am unsure why that is happening. Thoughts? (See Image Attachment). Here’s the setup guide that I followed originally to install FOG:

Hi @Sebastian-Roth!
The issue seems to have originated from a winter power outage that resulted in DHCP failure upon reboot. I apologize for any confusion.

Can you give us some more information on this. Usually when a client PXE boots and there is no FOG task scheduled for this host it will boot to the PXE menu and as a default chainload the OS from disk. You’d never run into the screen that you posted in the picture.
See if you still have a task scheduled in the FOG web UI (icon in the top menu that looks like a stack of three horizontal bars). Take a screenshot an post here.
The errors seen in the picture are most probably pointing to a hardware issue. Not something FOG is causing I think. What happens when you change boot order to directly boot from disk on this machine? Does it load Windows from the disk? Or is this a machine with an empty disk that you wanted to deploy your image to? We need more information on this to be able to help.
Here’s the setup guide that I followed originally to install FOG:
https://www.ceos3c.com/sysadmin/create-generalized-windows-10-image-deploy-fog-server/This guide does not seem to talk much about the FOG installation itself. So I am wondering what exactly did you follow?! Just asking because the pictures show a very old version of FOG and I really hope you have a more recent version installed!
