Ok I solved it.
Yes, that is when I let the menu timeout.
In my host the : FOG_EFI_BOOT_EXIT_TYPE and FOG_BOOT_EXIT_TYPE were both set to EXIT, Ichanged them back to the default setting (‘Please select an option’) and set those parameter to SANBOOT in the fog settings.

Thank you for your help

Hi, so I ran into some trouble earlier to register a host (https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/11221/failed-to-get-an-ip-via-dhcp)
which is now working but now I have a new issue.
When booting from the network, on the PXE menu, choosing boot from the hard drive get me the following message :

“Chainloadinf failed, hit ‘s’ for the iPXE shell; reboot in 10 seconds”

However booting from the HDD directly (without PXE) works just fine

FOG: 1.4.4
Server: Debian 9

Ok so I tried installing the 1.5 which got stuck on “backing up database…”, so I stoped it ran the uninstall script from the wiki and downloaded again the 1.44.

I installed 1.44 again and tried to register a host and it worked this time. So I’m a bit lost as to what was the problem earlier.

One thing did change though, it’s the appearance of the PXE menu, I use to have a black background with orange writing, now it’s white whith blue writing and an image of the fog logo.

EDIT: Well new problem now, when booting from network after choosing boot from hard disk in the PXE menu I get :
Chainloading failed, hit ‘s’ for the iPXE shell
But some things are working because I managed to use a WoL task and create a capture of my host.

Thanks for your reply.

Yeah, I installed 1.44.
I downloaded the files using git from https://github.com/fogproject/fogproject.git
Then I ran the install script with an address from the company main network that had Internet access. (So It could download everything that was needed).

After, I ran the script again with a local address so it could work on my isolated network.

Then I tried to register my test client and got the same problem although the error messages were slightly different (“Either DHCP failed or we were unable…” was not here)
So I looked on the Internet came across a post on this forum with a similar error messsages where updating the kernel seems to have corrected the issue.

Then I used the script from the wiki to manually update the kernel

What do you mean by “missing the http:// schema” ? Missing as in I didn’t see it or that it’s an error in the conf files ?

Hello,

I’ve just started an internship in a company and I’ve been tasked with find a OS deployement solution. So did some research and came across FOG, so I decided to give it a try.

So I set up two computers on an isolated network, my server (on a Debian 9) with fog, and a client (lenovo Edge 71) both are linked to an unmanaged switch.

So the install of FOG ran smoothly (choose to use FOG as DHCP) but I have some issue with the PXE boot. I get to the PXE menu, choose Full Registration (or Quick) and get the following :

What I don’t get, is that the DHCP seems to be working just fine because the lease is granted, I checked the files from the servers and there is an entry for the MAC address of my client. And my client, once loged in on Windows have an IP from the dhcp.

So if anyone as a solution, that’d be cool
