adding uefi boot option aswell as bios boot option
-
hi all,
my fog server works with bios motherboards (all i do is change the motherboard back to bios instead of uefi) also i turn off secure boot as its a pain
but this desktop i have (hp z2) you cant go back to bios, i have looked everywhere and you just cant change it to normal bios, just comes in uefi only
how do i add the uefi boot option to my dhcp option 67 as i can see you can only have one string value and not two, otherwise i would have added “ipxe.efi”
thanks,

i have read somewhere i need to update the fog kernel but i dont know what one to choose from, will this do…

@robertkwild 5.10.x (latest) for both x64 and x32 is the right one to get the latest hardware support.
-
@george1421 can i do this all from the command line ie ssh rather than the web gui, i spose i download both
5.10.50 64
5.10.50 32so wget and where do i copy them to

@george1421 thanks
Is the 64 bit link do I save that as the bzimage one and the 32 bit one, do I save that as the bzimage32
And where are the originals to overwrite or even better save them as .old
-
@george1421 found out
64=bzimage
32=bzimage32and i think the location is here isnt it
/var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe/
so i imagine i just rename the old ones and save the new ones here?
-
@robertkwild yes to each of your questions.

ohhh i think i know why, is this because i made the image on a bios windows 10 instead of uefi and now when i come into deploying it on uefi i get this error
but i did run sysprep on the windows 10 image before i captured it
-
@robertkwild refind is the exit program out of the fog menu for uefi systems. A simple point is you can not run a uefi boot loader or OS on a bios based computer, the reverse is also true. You can not run a bios based bootloader/OS on a uefi computer.
If refind is starting then its running on a uefi computer. If it hangs then its having a problem initializing the hardware which is usually a hardware bug. Make sure you have the firmware (bios) updated on this computer.

@george1421 yeah i thought as much george uefi bios dont play well with eachother, i could do this
https://windowsloop.com/convert-legacy-bios-to-uefi-windows/
im trying your winpe/samba server out
just want to make a windows 10 live boot, like i have done with centos 7 and on the boot menu option i will have a widnows 10 boot option
-
@george1421 im following your guide here
Windows 10 BIOS/UEFI 2021 edition
as i have installed a samba server on my fog server following your guide also there and also done the winpe one, how do i do step 14 as isnt that for a windows share and not a linux share
