PXE boot menu then black screen

saltlife3122, are you behind a proxy?

OK that svn update seems to have fixed me getting to image. The image went through but I get the blue screen of death after it starts windows when its done. Maybe I just have a bad image. I still get that same error that I listed above except now with new 3396 it goes through and images. I am re uploading an image from an actual computer this time, instead of a VM see if I get a good image that way.
-
Also When I do a quick image and select the OS it goes to a black blank screen with a flashing cursor. When I reboot to PXE I get a bzimage error. I have to go into the GUI and delete the task out. If i set an active task in the GUI to reimage it I get the same bzimage error. This is all so confusing and a mess. Fix one issue to bounce into another.

For the record, I run fog inside Hyper-V, and the only kind of image I upload is from physical machines.
I use undionly.kkpxe because Lenovo desktops have issues.
For some Lenovos, I’ve had success with kernel 3.18.3 x86_x64, and I use the trunk version of fog (the latest revisions).
What are the exact models of Lenovos you’re using? Have you checked our “Working Hardware” and “Problematic Hardware” lists?
-
We have M73, M81 etc desktops. Our laptops are from the B560/B590 all the way to E550’s.
So the .kkpx is better for you on lenovos than the .kpxe?
Do I need to revert my kernel from 4.0.2 all the way back to 3.18.3?
-
They are just suggestions, things I’ve had luck with for Lenovos.
Changing your boot file and changing your kernel is really easy to do. (easier in trunk)

Thinkstation S20 works fine with undionly.kkpxe and AHCI set in the bios. Work with last svn up and down.

Woot woot

sweet that kkpxe did the trick somehow. I am getting everything connected and running now thanks for the help and good work with fog trunk versions
