Stuck at bzImage after selecting image to deploy

@robbit @Sebastian-Roth I have experienced the same issue with the same laptop. Running FOG 1.5.9. Until now, we have a mix of UEFI and BIOS computers with a huge variety of brands, form factors, and NICs that have had no problems imaging with FOG. Our Windows DHCP server with appropriate scope policies hands out the proper boot file and imaging just happens. With this model, it was taking 50 minutes (on a network with a 10G backbone and 1G to the endpoint) just to download bzImage. I tried the NVME fixes and the alternative init.xz files, but that did nothing. However, creating a DHCP scope policy (based on MAC address, as I only have one of these machines) that handed out snponly.efi as the boot file for this machine (instead of ipxe.efi) completely and immediately solved this issue for me. Just wanted to post this, as I came across this unsolved thread in my attempts to find a solution. Hopefully it can help someone else.

snponly.efi
I’m having exactly the same issue, I’ve tried all the .efi boot files and get the following results.
ipxe.efi -> Configuring (net0 xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx) … No configuration methods succeeded
snponly.efi and snp.efi -> show the boot menu, but hangs showing bzImage… 0%
intel.efi and intel7156 -> DHCP failed
Version 1.5.9
Any advice?

@Rig @chipdewolfe Seems like you both use the same version of FOG, so same iPXE version. So what I can think of making the difference is the firmware version. Have you all updated to the very latest firmware?

@chipdewolfe hi, can you tell me what you mean by create a dhcp scope policy?

Well from your first message this sounded fairly different. Something about policy…
In this case I suggest you open a new topic in the forums so we don’t cause unneeded confusion. Post a picture of the screen where it is stuck along with information on yor FOG version, kernel version and the exact make and model of the device you see this issue on. We’ll take it from there.
