@Sebastian-Roth and @Tom-Elliott Thank you so much for your help. Backed-up my current images and cleanly installed from the latest GIT-repo 1.5. Coping back the same hooks worked again. Not sure what happened during the upgrade but fog is back in production now.
Thank you

I already had the new “boot menu entry”. Which works like a champ but I have to manually go to the console and select the option. Instead I want to add this to the task and get it assigned to host like other tasks.
When booting a server/pc I have to manually go to the console and scroll down to my “trusty” menu. Which is not idle for a remote management environment.
Thank you

@sebastian-roth I meant to say the issue is still the same. It gets hung at the same spot. Fog task deploy or capture NO we don’t see any issues but those are images.
Thank you
@sebastian-roth There is no difference. It still pauses at the installation.

@tom-elliott The binaries are same size. There is no difference. Looks like they weren’t changed on the new version.
Morning @tom-elliott I pull the git repo and run the install program every time I upgrade. How can I safely role back to " ipxe files from 1.4"?
Thank you
Chakri
@sebastian-roth please check the attached image. 
@george1421 The same entries were working fine in version 1.3 and 1.4. Version 1.5 introduced this issues.
@sebastian-roth also I tried passing the string acpi=off to kernel options. To solve any generic TFTP issues.
@tom-elliott Sorry having tough time uploading files. Pasting the file.
