It does not boot. Just goes to the bios screen.

I have tried the refind_efi exit type with no luck.

We are using the ipxe.efi as our boot file.

@Wayne-Workman

Yes we have the has_usb_nic=1 in there.

Ok just to check and make sure we have loaded a fresh copy of windows 10 on the surface. Now when we try to upload the image it gives us the Chain Loading Failed. Before it would deploy image but not boot to it.

We must be using legacy on the desktops.

After unplugging from the network and trying to boot, we just get the bios screen wanting us to select a boot method. I am wondering if the GPT partition is not correct.

We went through all of the EFI Exit types and no luck.

Any way to verify the partitions that fog is pushing down to it? We use this image on 200+ desktops just fine.

Only on Surface Pro 3 's do we get this, all other devices work.

The surface will image just fine, but when trying to boot to the hard disk it gives us the "input/output error (http://ipxe.org/1d0c6598) ""Chainloading faild hit “s” for the IPXE shell.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I am on the latest SVN of fog 7593. Running on debian 7.

Can you shoot that image to something else besides those vostros to see if it is the same speed? Also might seem as a stupid question but I have seen it on a few things that caught me off guard… Do those vostros have 1Gbps cards in them? Or are they 10/100?

14.04 seems to have a lot of issues. I switched to debian 7 and everything worked just fine. Trust me I fought the good fight with Tom’s help trying to stay with 14.04, but it just didn’t work out.

All,

I figured this may help some people. We were having all sorts of issues with FOG and could not get it fully operational with anything besides .32 on 12.04lts ubuntu. The new fog server we were building had Ubuntu 14.04 lts. After seeing a few post here about 14.04 not being supported - we changed to Debian 7.6.0 . Since then everything has worked as expected. I would just suggest to all of you running into issues that possibly ditching Ubuntu and going with Debian might be a less painful route. We are now running 1.2 just fine.

Will say that we tried on Centos 7 and it did not install - mysql problems. I think it has to do with the mariadb.

Thank you to the Dev team for all the work, it functions great now.

Do I need to do that on every computer or just a one time deal?

I know you said that they are identical switch config - but just in case. I was playing with STP and it created some odd issues. Does your work switch have STP enabled?

Is there an instruction set on how to use this somewhere?

This maybe already checked, but to make sure. If you go into your teminal and go to a particular fog (both windows open side by side). Do the “image path” and the image name in linux match? When I re-input my images they did not and I got the 0gb problem. Checked names and changed them to match - then everything worked fine.

Have you tried using a different bootfile? Like undionly.kkpxe ? Also if worst comes to worst try this: [URL=‘http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/ipxe-issues-work-around.10727/’][COLOR=#737373]http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/ipxe-issues-work-around.10727/[/COLOR][/URL]

Two questions.

I have it in debug mode - what do I do now?

Second - do I need to do this to every machine - different image - or just once on a single machine?

Yes it will boot without network cable. GPT is possible - if so what can I do? I will check on GPT.

Any more ideas?

Changed it through all 3 and no luck. Grub brought it to grub prompt. Sanboot gets stuck on fog screen and exit just puts up the blinking “_”.
