@Sebastian-Roth said in Secureboot issues:

@bgbgbgbg There is money und time involved to make this work. Check out the information on the iPXE website:
https://ipxe.org/appnote/etoken

The best part of that article I found was the footnote “Microsoft is special”

Not only does iPXE need to be signed, but the FOG Project would have to go through the same process MS boot image signing for each FOS Linux kernel that was released. This would most assuredly impact the “free-ness” and responsiveness to changing hardware demands for FOG imaging.

@oliver just so you know the linux user fog or fogproject should never be used for system administration. These accounts are owned by the fog program and will reset their passwords each time you install FOG.

We are glad you have it working now.

@rocksteve69 other than the export errors are you experiencing any issue? The export errors are understandable because of the dot in the parameter name.

@Peter365 Do you need both storage locations?

What does the output of ls -la /images and ls -la /Images look like?

@Deimos When you installed fog, did/do you have the environment variables setup so that the fog installer can download the needed OS modules from your linux distro’s repo repository?

@Brad-Schumann said in Blank Screen with Blinking cursor in top left corner:

Would a Windows, bios or driver update have this affect

The short answer is no. Older firmware on the target system might. So just for additional clarity the 5570 is in uefi mode? If so then we have an issue with rEFInd executable not finding the disk controller. When the FOG iPXE menu exists it calls refind to locate the hard drive boot device to boot the target computer.

Ok just to be clear, you can pxe boot into fog ipxe menu fine and you can image fine, but when you pxe boot into fog ipxe menu and then let it timeout to where it should boot from the hard drive you get a black screen with a cursor?

If so what is the default exit mode for uefi (found in the fog settings->fog configuration menu)? It should be rEFInd for uefi based systems.

I do find it strange that the 5570s have issues with the 5590s don’t.

@Deimos That doesn’t look like the error log, but it does say that no active internet connection found. Does this fog server have internet access either director via a proxy server?

@Wolfbane8653 Also make sure the firmware is updated on this target computer.

We just ran through debugging this issue with a new intel platinum processor. That processor had an issue with the number of cores being capped at 8. In this case the processor is old so we should not be hitting that bug here.

For this specific host manually register it and then in the host definition add the following to the kernel args field acpi=off. Lets see where that gets us.
