Hi there
If someone else reads this and they aren’t using autoexec.ipxe (just the default.ipxe like me) and still has this error I’ve got the solution that worked for me:

I had to downgrade the GRUB version from 2.12 to 2.06 in my Linux images (mostly Kali Linux).
Version 2.12 has a bug (bug #67078) which is mentioned here: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?67078

The downgrade works as follows:
Create a pin file: sudo vim /etc/apt/preferences.d/grub-pin
Content of the file:

Package: grub* grub2* Pin: version 2.06* Pin-Priority: 1001

sudo apt update
Downgrade grub packages: sudo apt full-upgrade
sudo grub-install
sudo update-grub
verify the installed version: dpkg -l | grep grub-common

You can now capture and deploy the the image.

Edit: of course I am and was using the latest FOG 1.5.10.1667 with newest Kernel and Initrd versions.

@george1421 Thank you so much! I enabled portfast on the switch port, and it works on physical PCs.

Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on "/dev/ram0" or unknown-block(1,0) Kernel Offset: disabled ---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on "/dev/ram0" or unknown-block(1,0)

But sometimes this error appears even if I haven’t changed anything in the configuration and files. Even if I update or roll back the init.xz or bzImage file to a previous version, it doesn’t help. The only thing that seems to work is setting up a completely new FOG server, but after some time, the problem can come back. How I can find right version or how I can solve this problem? Most time it error on PCs with UEFI
