@george1421 Morning George
the issue is resolved - it was the ‘-M’. There was no <space> at the beginning so iPXE clearly doesn’t like ‘-’ at the beginning. Thanks again

@george1421 Thanks once again for your help, and the others who took the time to offer their help.
I’ll let you know how I get on on Monday

@george1421 thank you George - just read the last bit of your post.
We use ‘-’ all the time in our image names but having thought about it - the last thing I did was create a custom image which started with ‘M-’, looks like I may have made a massive typo and put ‘-M’ instead. Will log on remotely over the weekend and check. If that is the case how easy is it to change the image name ? I assume that apart from the image folder name there are also references in the DB.

@george1421 Thanks George -
After selecting deploy Image and entering username and password is when error occurs
can register devices no problem

will try last one first thing monday as I am being kicked out of the office - it’s weekend

@Tom-Elliott
Hi Tom, most of our hostnames have a - in them as FOG is automatically naming them PC-** when they are first registered if we need to take an image from a new type of terminal. This issue happens when trying to deploy to terminals not registered on FOG. As stated in my original post we have been using it without any issue for 2 years to apply OEM images before dispatch

@Junkhacker multiple device from multiple manufacturers

@Tom-Elliott it is any machine we connect - I have tried 3 different manufacturers

@Sebastian-Roth I did using the mac of the server and I get the same output

@Junkhacker Nothing has changed

@Tom-Elliott said in IPXE errors:

/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=00:00:00:00:00:00

Hi Tom I’ve tried that - just gives same output as I posted before

Hi Tom
thanks for the quick reply - output below

Hi Sebastian - interestingly when I switch to the 32bit kernel everything woks fine so as far as were concerned the problem is solved

We’ve had Fog server running for about 2 years. Suddenly this morning when trying to ‘Deploy Image’ we enter user\password and it now flags an error

http://10.0.0.1/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php… ok
Unrecognised option "-M"

Any suggestions

@Sebastian-Roth unfortunately the 1.2 server has been ‘recommissioned’ but surely the ‘readlink’ command will only tell me the driver of the interface on the server. The issue we have is with the devices we are trying to re-image. They all re-image fine apart fom one make of terminal which uses the RTL8167 chipset

We have been using FOG 1.2 for a couple of years now without any problems. We recently upgraded to 1.55. and the latest Kernel 4.19.6 64bit. The issue we are having is that some of our terminals will not reimage now. They receive an IP address and load the default menu but then when we select the image to load it fails to bring the network card up. Works fine with kernel 4.18.11
Network cards are Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller (RTL8167) - has support for these cards been removed permanently ?
