Chainloading failure: Toshiba Tecra C40-C UEFI & Samsung SSD MZNLF128HCHP-000

@Tom-Elliott
I made the directory and use the chown commandI just don’t understand the fog:fog part. It may not be necessary for me to understand to make it work but I want to understand it.
-
@mabarton then you should be good now.
-
@mabarton now you should be able to upload. Booting is separate but imaging should be able to happen.
-
@Tom-Elliott
When I made this server I had never used any computer other than a Windows machine, so I did not know about the directories, commands…I knew zilch. -
@mabarton the chown changes the owner to allow the fog user to access it.
-
The school was doing computers one at a time before.
I really appreciate this and so will our school! Should this fix the chainloading error as well?
-
@mabarton fog:fog is user:group
-
@mabarton this is linux permissions 101. A incredibly brief explanation wrote by someone on a cell phone:
First part is owner, second part is group. Third which isn’t included is everyone.
Every linux user also has their own group by default and Linux does not allow deleting a user’s group.
Basically - setting the ownership tells linux that this user and this users group (which only has that one user in it) own that directory.
-
@mabarton no. The chain load issue is as George was discussing. Uefi exit is not pretty, but on imaging you should ensure secure boot is off for download, though I would recommend for both upload and download.
-
@Tom-Elliott
That was where I was lost. We use chown often with students. -
@mabarton for the chain load, if you set host efi exit to type exit and reupload with secure boot off, then deploy to system with secure boot off, I suspect you might have much more luck.
-
@Tom-Elliott
I always take secure boot offMy host is set to…EFI: exit and BIOS: exit
Then in fog settings… it is EFI :exit and Fog Boot: exit
-
@Tom-Elliott
I double checked and with those settings, I still get a chainloading error. -

@Tom-Elliott
I double checked and with those settings, I still get a chainloading error.The real question is - if you skip network booting, does the OS load?
-
@Wayne-Workman
I am taking a course on Linux in the fall so I hope to have a better understanding…When changing a setting in the WebUI, do I need to make changes on the machine as well?
-
@mabarton typically, no.
-
@Wayne-Workman Yes, if firmware set to boot from hard drive it works every time. (the OP is still on the 2 minute cool down between posts for being a noob).
-
@Wayne-Workman
Yes, without fail.I have to wait 120 sec to post. Sorry for the delayed answers. -
@mabarton well - I think secure boot is off because you got to the end of uploading.
The chain load failure is a different problem - as others have already said.
Can you post a picture of the chain load failure? Please include the whole screen and be sure the photo is focused - we can tell you a lot from that and give you a link too - to see what boot script that IPXE is using.
