      @george1421 said in [BUG] iPXE Boot Loop & Menu Failure After FOG 1.5.10.1660 Upgrade:

      If undionly.kpxe worked in bios mode then snp.efi should work in uefi mode

      Hi George, the BIOS claims its in UEFI mode but when booting it looks suspiciously like legacy (larger text etc). Its an old Viglin with a second generation i3 which is being retired this October so its not too much of a deal now I have a workaround.

      Oops!
      I deleted from CLI. But I just did that again and the image did not appear in the list and the storage number increased accordingly.

      @sebastian-roth said in Image menu not showing recently created images:

      @Jim-Holcomb How many images do you have? I am not aware of a limit of images that can be seen in the menu but I can’t tell you for sure.

      So would you be able to delete an older one and see if one of the new one pops up in the menu?

      Hello Sebastian - I tried that - deleting older images. No joy. You know that the image menu just keeps going to the next number in order. I am currently at 160, but of course I do not have anywhere near that many images. Then menu goes to 158 then ends. Yet if I go to “List all Images” of course the image resides there with all of it’s available information, size, date, etc…

      I am stumped here.

      @sebastian-roth
      That’s true, but every time I upgraded either fog or the OS, something would break. I used to have the advantage of Tom Elliott being available to assist in these cases, but he never returns emails or phone calls from me in like nearly 2 years.

      @Jim-Holcomb I still don’t fully understand. The database is just a point to store and pull the data from. Nothing more.

      If you manually rename the folder in Linux, would you expect the database to automatically update when now it has no reference point? It’s the same reason in reverse. Why allow the folder to be renamed in the terminal if it won’t update the database that may be referencing it?

      The folder doesn’t get automatically created when you define a new image. This only happens after the image is defined and captured. The pieces handling it are all after the database information is pulled. The GUI is not creating the folder. FTP is.

      If you manually change the folder name in the terminal, you will still need to change the folder in the GUI. It’s the same for updating the path in the GUI. While you could temporarily store the change, but what about you are changing the path when the image hasn’t been captured yet?

      @Sebastian-Roth Perhaps not for the MBR issue; but certainly for the resize issue.

      @Sebastian-Roth okay, thanks. I’ll do some research and see which route seems best. I still have a lot to learn about linux and wasn’t sure if there was a “new” way of adding storage to a FOG server since the wiki didn’t mention LVM and I was am not familiar with that yet.

      @quazz You’re right. Must have been a bad spot or something. One thing we all know Windows does is to add a minimum of two partitions on a clean install. Mine had 3 (ms system reserved, empty) partition. Did lots of research, found I don’t need three, just setup GPT with single partition, did base install, and now FOG imaging upload works.

      Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

      To me this sounds as if the OP never had IT in UEFI mode. I am pretty sure of that because when you try to PXE boot a legacy binary in UEFI it should not even get as far as “initializing devices” …
