Cannot boot into fog menu in UEFI mode
-
Debug enabled (DEBUG=image) ipxe.efi binary to try: ipxe.efi
-
Might this change have anything to do with it?? http://sourceforge.net/p/freeghost/code/4302/tree//trunk/src/ipxe/src-efi/config/general.h?diff=4031
I kind of doubt it but it still jumped at me when I looked through the recent changes on ipxe in our code.
The binary I compiled is without those defines…
-
I suppose it could, I can remove it and try again.
-
It is able to register the device now. I reinstalled the fog server and run Sebastian’s ‘ipxe.efi’. Running Fog version 5291. Thanks for the help
-
@Charlee593 Way to go! and thank you @Sebastian-Roth !!!
I must now try this version of ipxe.efi and see if I can UEFI boot a Dell
-
@Wayne-Workman I gonna try capture and deploy an UEFI Window 8 enterprise image.
Fog version 5291
-
Can you re-retry with latest trunk? I’ve removed the image lines as @Sebastian-Roth suggested and pushed it out.
-
@Tom-Elliott
Capture and Deploy window 8 in UEFI mode works. ( Fog version 5291 )
Now I gonna try the Fog version 5293. -
@Tom-Elliott The latest Fog can register the host too ( Fog version 5293 ). Thanks for the help

Good news is I just UEFI network booted a Optiplex 9020 for the first time EVER! Awesome!!!
Bad news is our network manager goofed the entire district’s dhcp… I told him not to set options for our administration center in the super scope because it’d interfere… gah…
-
So… interesting…
with the Ad-Center goofing the DHCP, and this one computer pulling a lease from the ad-center’s DHCP coincidentally, it booted over UEFI. Ad-Center has FOG SVN 4103, cloud 4848…
I had our network manager change it back to point to our local fog server, which is running cloud 5293 svn 4323 and now UEFI network booting on the same machine is not working…
Sucks that it worked and then broke, but that’s a solid place to start looking…
-------------EDIT--------------
I’m a moron, I didn’t have a task queued for our local FOG server. Did that and network booted over UEFI.
IT’S IMAGING, NO PROBLEMS !!!
I’m going to have all our sites update to the latest now after snap-shoting.
-
Thanks guys for testing and reporting back that quickly! Sounds great from my point of view. Still I wonder why those config changes made a difference. @Tom-Elliott Why did you add those?
-
@Sebastian-Roth to be honest, it was an attempt at comminizing the files so they were very similar between efi and non efi. It was not to hurt anything, but a way to make things more similar.
It’s this separation that you see two ipxescript files as well.
