So I noticed on the [url]http://fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/WorkingDevices[/url] page that dc7900 doesn’t work b/c of Issues with “Loading boot sector… Booting…”. I’ll do some more investigation. I have about 300 of these devices and want to continue using fog for them. The other site had dc5800s and Optiplex 980s which both worked with the new version of Fog / iPXE. I think I might just go back to .32 until I get rid of the 7900s or have more time to play with iPXE on the 7900. It functions for what I need.

I have this same problem except that none of the exit options work. I upgraded from 32 to the latest SVN pull. When it exits from ipxe the computers gives me “non system disk or disk error. press any key to continue”. That message usually means that the hard drive is not found or bad. This is on older HP DC7900. When I do Ctrl Alt Del they start into windows fine.

It seems that a lot of work has been done from .32 to the current version which I’m grateful for. Is there any kind of documentation on what settings need to be changed if you upgraded? I did a new install at another site without many problems. Some new hardware (HP EliteDesk 800 G1) wouldn’t do pxe properly, but other than that it worked well. Is a fresh install recommended vs an upgrade?

Somewhat old thread, but you can disable the ping on the host lists by going to FOG Configuration->FOG Settings->General Settings->FOG_HOST_LOOKUP and clearing the checkbox. Easier than disabling the javascript file. There’s a possibility this was introduced in the time between your post and my find, but if not, it’s here for others.
