@george1421 I found that my previous image which I used on Elitebook g5s is having diffrent ethernet driver, its issue with image. I test it on diffrent computer its installed correct. Please disregard my question.

Hi, so I did change to version refind version 0.10.4 worked with my HP models, and capture new image, on only UEFI bios, and its working. @EduardoTSeoane made me think that I have only legacy compatible images so I tried to fix that. Thank you guys for help!

@sebastian-roth Yes I am testing it every time too, always end with chainloading failed, and reboot in 10 seconds.
Edit: I found more options to exit boot:
a) IPXE General Configuration> boot Exit settings> exit to hard drive type (EFI)
b) Fog settings> Fog boot settings> EFI boot exit type

are they different, and what with “boot exit type” its also there which is to change here?

I also notice that “key sequence which is set to f12” is not recognized, and its always “ESC” instead, maybe its not sending settings to machine after changing to ipxe.efi?

Maybe I am missing something as I need in the new Image for this? I am open for suggestions

@sebastian-roth

Is there other ways to use UEFI, cause refind is really not working for me, I have checked a few versions, still no luck, and even if I found it finally, I am not sure it will work with a different HP model when we have like 4 and also hp laptops. Checking refind for every model seems endless work

Hello,
I received new machines with only UEFI boot option when until now, I was using Legacy successfully.

1. We changed DHCP option 067 to ipxe.efi
2. Updated kernel from console with this article https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Kernel_Update
3. Exchanged refind_x64.efi to version 0.10.9 cause we have only HP machines.

I can get to Fog deploy menu and choose to register machines, then its deploying image and all goes fine till its restarting and trying to boot to windows:

from this momenet only I can do is to restart computer or shutdown

What I can do?

More info - from old fog I exported only hosts via web browser - old hosts when reinstalling have correct hash and snapins works smoothly. Issue is only with machines which I register.
No errors in fogsnapinhash.log

Hi,

• new fog installation with 1.5.9 RC2 version.
• fog is on centos 7
• computers with win10 ver.2004

I noticed that newly imaged computers cannot install snapins because of error with hash do not match

First I thought it was issue with sysprep and new windows version, but image with snapin works fine with computers already in hosts list, only new one have a problem. How can I fix this? After checking the forum I saw that issue might be on Fog ver. 1.5.9. RC2 can I degrade it safely to stable 1.5.8 ?

its working, thank you!
