i took 10-15minutes to got away from this prompt (see attached file) what could be the reason?

fogserver is a virtual machine from vpshere connected to 1gb switch port fog client is a phyiscal machine connected to 1gb switch port

We have run Fog on a virtualbox vm from the first time we used it. Had no troubles at all. It’s been rock-solid. Way easier than setting up a separate box if you already have some sort of VM infrastructure in place. Performance has been fast enough for us.

You need to look into the way fog does it now. I believe it calls one of the scripts under {webdir}/fog/service/, passing in as POST arguments the information needed to create the task in the database and file under /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/

If you expand out the /tftpboot/fog/images/init.gz (instruction on wiki), and look into the /bin/fog folder, you’ll see the fog.man.reg file, which is what runs when you choose the Full Host registration and inventory from the PXE boot menu. If you can look through that file, you can see how the script is calling the page which creates the imaging task, and you can replicate that in whatever program you are wanting to interface with FOG.
