Yes, I tried both trunk and no trunk version.
The trunk version was more broken with my clients than the 1.2.0. Image upload would show the size of full disk (deploying to a disk with smaller total size would not work.). Normal deployment did not work at all either, it would only fail when starting.
@Wayne-Workman
Hello Wayne, sorry for the late feedback.
A lot of things have happened the last few weeks. I had my apprenticeship exam and also I had to finish the task regarding the clients I’ve been testing with.
I tried following the guides you referred but they did not work. It seems as when I had the combination of the latest version, ipxe.kkpxe, and the client (HP ProBook 455 G3), not even normal deployment would work. Uploading from this version seemed to create image files with the size of the disk (although used disk space on fog server was normal). The same happened both after cleaning and reinstallation of the server. (I followed all steps again and made it similar.
In the end I had to go with normal deployment on 1.2.0 fog server.
Hey, I’ve tested the client today.
At first the client would boot on network, get ip adress, try configure net0 be successful then end with dhcp failed. It then guides me to this page:
http://ipxe.org/err/040ee1
And I run
ifconf -c dhcp net0
Then the message says “Connection timed out” and guide me to:
http://ipxe.org/err/4c1060
Then i tried booting on an older client hp compaq 6735b and this one boots up alright.
So I changed in dhcpd.conf
class "Legacy" {
match if substring(option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 20) = "PXEClient:Arch:00000";
filename "undionly.kkpxe";
to
class "Legacy" {
match if substring(option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 20) = "PXEClient:Arch:00000";
filename "ipxe.kkpxe";
Then the newer client would boot, (in boot it first failed at configuring net0, 00:00:00:00:00, then it tried configuring net1, this was a legit address.)and i tried multicast, then it would complete the first setup and boot partclone, in partclone it says “Starting to restore image (-) to device (/dev/sda1)”, it stop at this window. After checking the server webgui, i saw that the image i was trying to download (i uploaded it at some point from a different computer) stood with 0B, i did a new upload and then it says 465GB, checking the disk with df -h:
root@ubuntu-fog:/etc/dhcp# df -h

Tried again to multicast, but stops at same window in partclone.

What os would you recommend to run fog on ?
CentOS 7
I might give that a go then the next time I reinstall. 
Will do! I’m new to Linux in general, I’ve tried a little ubuntu and debian. But I did ubuntu as it seemed to be the best documentet on the wiki 
What os would you recommend to run fog on ?
There is no service that is called dhcpd, however there is one called isc-dhcp-server, I believe this was installed by the 1.2.0 installer?

It came with this message

stop: Unknown instance:

(I’ve been restarting this service whenever I changed the bootfile for testing.)
I ran the ./installfog.sh and it went through smoothly.
Logfile:

I’ll test and see if something is different on the clients tomorrow. Currently writing this from home.
No, it was at first a misspell, but i didn’t change it as it was only a test server. I’ve been reinstalling a few times already.

Okay, that did the work, but now it stops at dhcp. Also, when i look in the dhcp they seem to have been changed.
