@emreonder Please post the contents of the fog-client log file here.

Hostname changing on Linux systems is not as straight forward as it is on Windows. The fog-client will try to change different config files (code reference) though this might not always work.

On Linux you can usually take another route and set hostname via DHCP. Search the forums and the web in how to do this.

@emreonder I thought you have Windows DHCP server in your network. Well if the FOG server is actually providing IPs as the main DHCP server in your network you should not shutdown the server/service as clients would not get an IP via DHCP even when booting Windows.

If this is really true (you don’t have another DHCP server) then I would suggest you comment the line “next-server 10.1.11.4;” by putting a # at the start of this line, like this:

... # next-server 10.1.11.4; ...

Save the config and restart the server.

@emreonder Sorry for my late reply. Lost track of this over the holidays.

I am still at a loss on why your partition looks like this. What is the extended partition actually used for?

Beside that I can’t really guess what might be special about this setup/layout that prevents it from chainloading to disk after iPXE is loaded on the Gigabyte motherboard. We know it works on other hardware and therefore I’d think the bootloader on disk is being properly imaged through FOG.

nomater all the options i try with the Host Bios Exit Type or Host EFI Exit Type ( i guess i tried all the combinations) but never passes this step.

Ok the first thing we need to know is the gigabyte mobo in bios or uefi mode. Knowing that then you can focus on the right Host Exit type.

The default for bios exit type is SANBOOT. That works 95% of the time. For the UEFI exit type that is typically rEFInd.

So if you have a uefi type firmware and rEFInd hangs on exit there are a few things you can try with refind to make it work. The first thing I think I would have you do is update a few settings in the refind.conf file to see if adjust refind to locate your boot media.
